Squire Affirmations

I will not trip and fall down the stairs while carrying all of my knights armor again

The horses love me

I am not in love with the wizard apprentice

My knight appreciates my hard work

It is not my fault that my last three knights died horribly

[herssian]

deepen the shadows bro. it'll be ok

[herssian]

i meant art-wise but if any dark sorcerers see this. you do you

Is That Allowed

this guy approached me at the park, i took a picture and then tried to shoo it away since it seemed far too comfortable with people. still cool though!

TODAYSBIRD EDIT: this looks like a young roadrunner, or at the very least, it’s a roadrunner! they’re notoriously fearless, so you did the right thing, but it’s not too surprising it wasn’t put off by human presence. cool sighting!

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)

i bring a sort of “you should maybe interrogate your so-called ‘preferences’ to make sure they’re not literal textbook examples of severe unconscious bias” vibe that my woke gay friends dont really like

[mephistopheles]

what this post does NOT mean

go out and fuck someone you aren’t attracted to because a stranger on tumblr said to

go out and date someone you aren’t attracted to because a stranger on tumblr said to

You’re Not Allowed To Be Gay Anymore

what this post DOES mean

if you just ‘prefer’ to avoid majority black areas of your city

if you just ‘prefer’ to read, write, think, and talk about men

if you just ‘prefer’ to socialize with people you (perceive as) your assigned birth sex

if you just ‘prefer’ to exclusively watch white-directed movies, read white-written books, listen to white-authored music

if you just unconsciously perceive men as more authoritative/competent and ‘prefer’ to be spoken to by them

this is a post about acknowledging unconscious bias. it is not a post about dating. please stop coming into my inbox and accusing me of rape apologism and telling me to kill myself. thank you

happy last day of pride to the gay snails who hug and kiss for hours without mating

I never skip leg day. Once a week I spend the day taking photos of chicken legs (raw chicken). I just like the way they look, now where did I put my meds? On a *side* note why do *scien*tists give ✨pharmacuticular✨ products such *boring names*, like 🌺✨*astroprocycolopropholane*✨🌺 when they could call them something like 🗿*shmomp*🗿 (shmomp!). *this is my application to the scoentists*, stop giving drugs such boring names, when you could **lit**rally call them ~anything~, *ooo*! I wanna walk into a ✨chemists to pick up a prescription✨ of ten milligrams of ✨🌙🎀*grunky scripples*🎀🌙✨…. 🌠🌅🌃🏙️ Grunky Scripples~🏙️🌃🌅🌠

Still one of the best animations I've ever done. Took just under a week and was equal parts fun and challenging. So here are some process passes! The full version had too many colors so I had to do some compression T0T

As always, no ai.
