Wasserspeier am Freiburger Münster

[the-stickers]

WINTER IS A BAD TIME.

What it feels like to chew 5 Gum

[gallusrostromegalus]

IT’S MY FAVORITE GARGOYLE BACK AGAIN FOR WINTERTIME.

[allthingshyper]

I want to know the exact conversation that lead to the creation of this abomination

[gallusrostromegalus]

Ye olde German architect: “ok, it’s time to put in the rainspouts and last night I was out with the lads and Hans had too much and the point is I had the FUNNIEST idea…” *Holds up drawing*

Ye olde German Architect Supervisor: * snorts beer out of his nose.* “YES. BUILD IT IMMEDIATELY.”

[charliecoxbf]

That’s gussy babe

[earthgirl2788]

Sooooo I just came back from studying in Freiburg and went on a tour of the Münster with a historian who knew all of the insider secrets and the story is even better than you think. 

It took more than 300 years to build the Freiburger Münster (1200s-1500s), so they went through a lot of architects and people who paid those architects. Some of the patrons were dicks and one of those dicks lived in a house right next to the Münster. The asshat kept demanding they work faster and changed his mind every five hours about what he wanted and THEN he refused to pay the architects because he wasn’t happy with what they’d done. 

That really pissed the builders off so in retaliation, the head architect built the butt gargoyle facing his house so that every morning for the rest of his life, when the dick looked out his window at the Münster, he’d have to look at a gargoyle butt.

So, the defecating gargoyle is a big fat “fuck you” to someone’s dick of a boss that has survived 500 years and two world wars

This is better than I possibly could have imagined, thank you

Chezure's Frames of War: Mocking Captain Vor (Warframe Gameplay)

[theholyholland-deactivated20230]

Thought I would just share this beautiful spideypool moment with you all.

[thechezure]

Saw this and had to reblog it. Holy cow, this is great. XD

[rainy-days-will-never-end-deact]

Comic book Thanos is an incel extremist.

[nekomato-nekomata-deactivated20]

an alien that wants to win death’s affection is like something you’d hear about in a metal song tbh

[rainy-days-will-never-end-deact]

Imagine being cucked by deadpool

[nekomato-nekomata-deactivated20]

maybe that’s why they changed his backstory for the MCU so that the big bad villain isn’t being cucked by chimichanga meme man

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

I can’t believe I had to read “cucked by chimichanga meme man” with my own two eyes.

[missphase]

“there are too many people in the universe, overall, like, half of them should die” is still a pretty incel belief to have.

Thanos is a high-school-level edgy extremist incel that leans towards fascism because “it’s logical” and he literally claims he doesn’t have emotions but he gets pissfaced whenever his family members lash back at him.

[thechezure]

Family members, I have to point out, he kidnaps as young children after he destroys their homes and makes them fight each other for his amusement and modifies them with cybernetics if they lose...

[chainchomped-deactivated2020082]

Artists use other poses to copy all the time, it’s how you practice. Tracing can as well. Just link the original and say something along the lines of “based off this post/ pose”. I see artists do it all the time. Including super popular or skilled ones. There’s nothing wrong or shameful with that

If you do it and feel happy about doing it, then power to you, but I think the main point that a lot of artists want people.tl understand is that it’s a terrible.waycto learn to draw. Bit saying it’s pointless at all. If you wanted to study things or get anatomy length, etc, then perfect, a lot of people who make vector art trace, so there’s benefits in the art world. However, to say “yeah I copied this pose” or “I traced over this pose” just seems lazy and, I think, discredits any skill you could have improved if you just drew the pose yourself, using the original as a reference point to look at and cross check.

[foxyfandoms]

“Terrible way to learn”

No it’s not, actually and the proper method for learning anatomy is heavily referencing from photos (or official art in the case of doing fanart). Even professionals do it. It’s actively harmful to learning artists to push the narrative artists don’t use references.   

[chainchomped-deactivated2020082]

Once again, this is a case of people getting referencing and straight up copying and tracing confused…

[foxyfandoms]

Heavily Referencing and Copying are the same thing. Especially from photographs. Part of the learning process is learning exactly how everything works and where it goes right down to taking measurements of proportions. You have to know reality as a base before you can stylize. 

This becomes even more important if you draw in a realistic or semi-realistic art-style because doing such often involves heavily referencing photos to get minor details right.

[chainchomped-deactivated2020082]

I don’t disagree with that last reblog whatsoever and you’re completely right.

I’m trying to point out the difference in tracing over something and calling it your own, and taking inspiration or reference from something and using it in your work. In my mind, they’re different. I guess not everyone feels the same way? Which is ok too. We’re all different. :)

[nathanbutler]

What method you use for practicing your craft is all dependant on what your goals are.

Tracing among other things can be a decent way to learn to control your arm. Especially if you’re working in the comics industry as an inker you may need to practice that way just because it’s more efficient!

However, an important part of being an illustrator is to learn to “see” and the most effective way to learn to calculate angles and ellipses and negative space are from life drawings.

most people do not have access to life drawing studios and model photos are a fine way to compromise. There’s a great site for practicing gesture drawings! https://www.quickposes.com/en/gestures/timed

Professional illustrators use a lot of photo references on a daily basis! Photos for the animal they’re drawing, the pose, hairstyles, all sorts of things are drawn from life and looked at! Often times art student’s have assignments where they go to the zoo and take photos for reference. Studios like Disney will take their employees to different countries for the same reason!

But to look at an already stylized interpretation of something… such as using another artist’s work as a reference. It’s really not a good way to learn fundamentals. However, if you’re working on a project you need to learn to stylize things the way the other people in the project do! So being able to understand how to read a stylized drawing is beneficial too…

When you learn the fundamentals it’s very very easy to copy other styles since they’re all based on real life! That’s why realism is an important skill for artists who are planning on working in the animation industry.

BUT! If you’re drawing for fun do whatever you want! It doesn’t matter what you do if you have no intentions to make art a job. If you’re unsatisfied with your work you should see what those people do though and try to follow some of their methods!

Is that a boy or a male?

A friend in response to being shown a picture of an Octoling that... Admittedly is a bit questionable on gender...

He was laughed and slowclapped at by all present, even himself.

[thechezure]

While I’m at this Tumblr thing, I did an art.

Drew a new pic trying something new with my new tablet. Newness abound!

Did for Friend

[thechezure]

WOOOOO! NEW TABLET’S HERE, LOVE IT ALREADY! LET’S DO SOME FREE STUFF! SEE BELOW!

So my new art tablet is heeeeere. and so I’m going to do some FREE ARTWORKS!!! I have FIVE, count them FIVE, slots available. I only have a few rules I have to lay down and how to get a spot!

Rule the 1st. No NSFW, no Feral animals, no weird “half-nsfw” attempted stuff. NSFW refs are FINE, but I’m not doing NSFW or feral creature art.

Rule the 2nd. If I pick you, I require you to reply back, at least acknowledging it within 12-24 hours of being picked

Rule the 3rd. The artworks I will be doing will be of a simple style, therefore I will not be taking extremely detailed and complex characters. If you like the style of a certain artwork in my Tumblr, Weasyl, or Deviantart, you can mention it and I’ll see what I can do.

HOW TO ENTER!!!!

Go to my blog, click the “Ask Things” button and give me these details three: Your character’s name, A reference of your character (sort of a duh, just covering bases), and if you’re fine with grabbing the picture from my blog or if you want me to send you a special private link where you can download the picture without Tumblr messing with stuff.

PS. I MAY do more slots so if you’re not in the first batch, don’t worry, I’ll probably throw up a few more slots depending on how quickly I get these firsts lots done, I want to be able to do them within a day each, but distractions can happen so I ask for patience, this is free art with no monetary incentive on my part or your part.

Art Hiatus

I know I haven’t posted any art HERE lately, but all the art I’ve done is either for parts of my Stream overlay or for private commissions, apart from a few sketches I may upload at some point.

HOWEVER, the true part of the Art Hiatus is that I’m going to stop doing art with my current tablet because this weekend I’m going to be ordering my new art tablet, and so I’m going on a Art Hiatus while waiting for that thing to come in, an while on hiatus, I’ll be doing pixel stuffs for my stream as well as streaming over on Mixer a bit every day at TheChezure on Mixer

See ya on The Sod! ( the name of my Mixer “show” )

[thechezure]

Dingo!!! Dingo!!!

Recorded for random sake and because it was funny as hell...

[awd-eheroes]

[awd-eheroes]

This has apparently been making its rounds again, but it was re-posted by someone who didn’t credit me and edited rather badly. Just letting folks know where the original came from. this comic meant a lot to me and still does. Thanks for the love.

If you're not having fun playing a game, you're not causing enough chaos and mayhem.

Chaos Writing - Two Warriors

So I’ve decided to do a bit of a difffffferent effort this time. It’s gonna be in the vein of a friend’s writing thing they’re doing called @10minutewriting And you can find that by clicking their username there (If I did the hyperlinking right). And with that shameless promotion of my friend out of the way (completely of my own volition and with no asking from him at all) , leeeet’s get writing! 10 Minutes! One story! Let’s-a go!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  As two warriors stand, swords drawn, watching each other, waiting. They knew one would die here today. They knew that this is where one path ended, and one continued. Their friendship lasted a long time, but this was an unfortunate turn.

  One was built, stoic, heavily armored with a custom tailored scimitar. The other, lean and quick, wearing much lighter bamboo-type armor, wielded a katana. They stood. Stared. Watched. Waited more. Listening for the church bell nearby that would signal in the next few minutes which one would have the upper hand and which one would lay dead while the victor stood to gain the spoils of their dead friend. They knew it would not be long. they knew one good swing and someone was dead, but neither considered it to be themselves. They stood. Waiting. Watching. Listening more.

  And then it happened. The bell rung. One. Two. Three. The two warriors shunted forward from around ten steps apart from each other and started closing in with ferocious and fiery energy. On-lookers saw two swordsmen that they all respected going to someone’s death. The sounds the blades made rung out like sad music as the blades clashed and held up against each other despite their differing compositions. Two clashes. Three. Four. Five. A connection gets made and the metal-armor clad warrior steps back quickly checking his arm. The bamboo-clad warrior stepped back a moment to wait. To watch. To Listen. As much as he knew this was his opponent, he also knew this was his friend. The metal-clad warrior chuckled and spoke.

  “You got me.”, and then paused before continuing in awe of his friend, “Wow. I almost didn’t catch that swing.”

  “I’ve had to stay on my toes since I’m not as big and tough as you are, friend.”, the bamboo-clad warrior replied.

  They resumed their stance. Watching. Waiting. Listening for each others moves. They wanted to end this duel and end it cleanly. As they went to step forward again to attack, a familiar girl stepped in front of them and yelled at them to stop, pleading with them about if they saw how stupid they were being. The bamboo-clad warrior scoffed a moment. And then paused. And then thought. In the end they stopped because of this girl that was their friend, patched their friend up, and then sat for a cup of tea.¹ They learned something that day. That even in a battlefield, friends can remain, no matter what side they were on.²

Stream Progress Report and Such Things

So for those who watched the stream earlier ( and more for those who didn’t ) I.. Came at an impasse with iZBOT and so I’ll try to get past the level off-cast and pray the next level isn’t BS. For now I’ll be doing Super MeatBoy as the stream game as previously discussed and then MAYBE if I don’t get stuck in iZBOT permanently we’ll go back to that when I get unstuck.

In other thoughts... Does anyone have any way to like... Encourage a brain to want to play RPG on a handheld system? I’m still only on the second Island in Pokemon Sun and only at like badge 4 or 5 in Pokemon Omega Ruby and I literally can’t bring myself to play them...

[thechezure]

Going to be going Live in a few moments...

http://twitch.tv/thechezure

LET’S-A GO!!! HOPEFULLY I CAN BLAST THROUGH IZBOT TODAY AND MOVE ON!

[thechezure]

I should post to tumblr more often...

However, I’m not too sure for wtf I should post? I’m working on a lot of different things, but I’m not sure like...What would be interesting? I’m slowly working away through my Steam library finally. My current WIP Achievement Chases ( what I’m gonna call the “What I’m playing” segment from now on ) are: 

iZBOT at 5 of 9 [56%] ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/388970/ ) which I’m playing on stream ( oh yeah, that’s a thing. http://twitch.tv/thechezure )

Rising Island ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/452450/ ) at 7 of 15 [45%]

And Torchlight at 11 of 66 [17%] (Albeit I’m not working on it very actively..., Soon as I finish the story at least, achievement 100%’d or not, I’m moving onto Torchlight 2)

I’m hoping to finish iZBOT at the very least tomorrow during stream and then follow it up immediately with blasting through Super Meat Boy or Cave Story+ on Stream (no need for links). And then after those I’ll be starting Boo Bunny Plague, which is a much stranger indie title...

[thechezure]

Finished an art, pulled out pad for a new art. I'm making a shygal. Yay! And she couldn't care less... I may promote the ask being open SPECIFICALLY for her because I dunno her backstory yet...
