Excited for Art Fight this year! Last twplo years were fun but I definitely spent way more time preparing my profile, bookmarks and whatnot this year, so I think things are gonna go great! Can't wait to see all the different art pieces at the end of the month.

I also love the themes for this year! It was really hard deciding which team to join.

Attacks are welcome! While I do have prioritized characters in a hitlist of mine, I would certainly be happy to add more in the case of either finishing the ones I planned for this year or just to save them for next year's hitlist!

My bed disappears and I fall into the vat of Legos that lie beneath. I am immediately eviscerated.

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' >:)

[nattousan]

and now, the birds

Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus

[nattousan]

Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius

[nattousan]

hoo boy, ok *out of breath*

GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!

this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render

[nattousan]

speaking of obnoxious coverts:

bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata

the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it

[nattousan]

Madam....

[nattousan]

birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female

pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr

[nattousan]

*melts into goo*

BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus

genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??

nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)

[nattousan]

in other news, I am losing my mind hairline

[nattousan]

SHE'S DONE!!

Bird number 9: Red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis

my chains are broken i am FREE. although i did have a great deal of fun with this, the barring on the wings itself took me like four days and i am READY to move on

this was a week and a half of continuous work so please excuse me for getting a little emotional in the bg 🙏

[nattousan]

*does a little jig*

BIRD NUMBER 10!!! The Male Mallard Duck, Anas platyrhynchos

the male and female ones are gonna be posted separately bc they're taking a lot longer lol but yea! super happy i was able to capture the iridescent green of the head, i found metallic green and blue paint at a craft store that really made his head POP. it looks better in person i promise

ALSO!! As this is the 10th one, BIG announcement. The end is in sight!!!!! I plan to finish within the next 3 weeks and there will be a small dedication ceremony/ unveiling happening at the library to commemorate its completion on the 16th of May. If you live in the Western New York region and want to check it out for yourself shoot me a dm!

Also thank you everyone for your kind words and support throughout this whole process, it's been a genuine treat thinking there are potentially thousands of you out there cheering me on while I paint this 🥹

[jupeywoopy]

I think having the main theme of your movie being that bravery does not nessicarily mean willingness to subject yourself to pain and fear but rather rising to the challenge once you’re already in that situation is such an important message given our circumstances right now

[preservationofnormalcy]

I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.

You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!

A couple of days ago, I watched Project Hail Mary, and I think it will most likely be my next biggest obsession for the upcoming weeks… I've already listened to the whole audiobook now. And have this itching feeling to buy the book as well so I can have it safe on my bookshelf.

[peanut-d00dles]

I was only trying to capture Joe roller blading and caught Joel chasing him down on a war path instead!! I feel this could make a good meme format XD

[whackystick]

Idk if its just the positioning or what but they have such a similar vibe, at least imo

[mirza16498]

had an idea for Project Hail Mary fanart the other day

[whackystick]

Having a movie about profound friendship, the perseverance of science and the discovery of bravery in the wake of cowardice change you fundamentally as a person? Couldn't be me.

(I say, like a liar, sobbing in the corner.)

[varchaiiart]

relistening to the audiobook and got inspired!

normalise being bad at roofs in minecraft. normalise not being able to make an aesthetically pleasing roof to save your life in minecraft.

[netheritenugget]

Normalize just digging into the side of a mountain to avoid making roofs in Minecraft

[wolfbeware]

yall need me to tap the sign?

here’s a roof guide that i use because i used to be shit

i dont remember the source, b/c ive had this for like years, but i suggest messing around with these roofs with different shapes/sizes of buildings

in fact, you can mix and match and have one roof with a side room with a different roof on it

honestly, have fun

[pixiis-blog]

I’ve had these saved for a long time and unfortunately don’t know the source either, but here are the other tutorials from this artist if anybody is interested!

[currann]

Oh! These are super cool!

[the-final-sif]

These were made by PixelandPoly they have an entire 40 page eBook with various design guides, alongside the ones they’ve released for free.

[reverse-void]

Teacher!Ryland Headcanons that I’d turn into a fanfic if I had the time and energy:

- Ryland works at a science camp over the summer, and volunteers to teach at STEM college programs for kids. He has no life so he decides to do this instead of sitting in his own misery or going on failed dates

- Ryland had a stray cat for a while, which he’d take photos of and bring into class. He let his students name the cat, but he had to get rid of it when he started working on the patrova line

- His students bring him homemade food and snacks all the time. Unlike his coworkers who throw away these types of gifts, Ryland always eats them. He often gets sick because 13 year olds cannot cook

- Instead of trying to speak Gen z brainrot, Ryland avoids it like the plague. His students find this fear of slang hilarious and use it around him constantly, to the point where Ryland starts to slip up accidentally

- Right before the Patrova line was discovered, Ryland was considering adoption. When he realized the world was probably going to end, he didn’t have the heart to watch someone he cared for suffer or die, so he backed out of it
