artist, writer, occasional streamer. trying to get some projects off the ground | check out my art in my media tab
- new life motto in the form of a small poem: "Don't borrow grief from the future, Don't dig up pain from the past. Your life is lived moment to moment— Enjoy what you've got while it lasts."
- i think the #1 reason why ive been able to decouple my artistic self-esteem from social media numbers over the years is simply because im in a lot of private discord servers, and enthusiastic compliments from friends in those servers does more for me than any amount of Number Go Up on socmed.
- there are two best things to be told as a creative imo, and they both boil down to: 1. "i liked your stuff so much it made me want to work on my own stuff" 2. "i have this feature/body type/am part of this character's demographic and the way you portray them makes me like myself more"
- the roleplaying part of TTRPG is very fun and important of course but i honestly also really enjoy being a hype man and cheering / losing my mind whenever one of my tablemates does something badass. if someone rolls a nat20 i WILL go apeshit and it's so much fun
- funniest thing about writing sometimes is how huge fucking projects can bloom out of the most simple base ideas. literally the seed that tsip/the sky in pieces bloomed from was just me suddenly sitting back in my chair one day and going "hmm... i should write a toxic polycule."
- one of my friends recently made a bsky account on here for their cat, so if u like cat pics (especially pics of extremely cuddly and fluffy tortoiseshell kitties) pls toss a follow to @baby-blossom.bsky.social. i cannot overstate how much i love this cat fr.
- my favorite thing abt telling ppl about my writing project the sky in pieces is always how quickly people become invested when i start telling them about the tangled social dynamics between the protagonists. having so many seems like a weird choice but it's like showing off a veritable buffet
- btw for the oc artists that have been following me ive been dreaming up a little event ive been thinking about that's focused around sharing and enjoying each others' ocs some more, so im going to post about it fairly soon once april begins.
- very funny to me how official D&D lore says that drow are evil but so many D&D enjoyers are just like "fuck that. drow are cool and sexy and awesome actually and i love them. suck my shit completely off gygax"
- i think one of my biggest pet peeves wrt ppl criticizing fiction is using the phrase "power fantasy" derogatorily, as if that aspect of the story alone is enough to make the whole thing worthless. like do you know just how much fiction out there are power fantasies while still being well-made????
- sebylen's party has been going through a dungeon made by a goddess of humor and pranks and ive been seriously considering making a highlights video of all the best parts and drawing art of it to make it even more fun to watch but god. that would be so time-consuming... and yet slap so hard...
- sometimes being in the specific artistic skill range im at rn is very frustrating. i know im capable of creating some amazing pieces and it somehow makes it MORE frustrating when stuff comes out wonky or weird or when i don't know how to draw smth.
- sometimes i'll look back at problem sleuth and the midnight crew parts of homestuck and marvel at how PERFECTLY suited andrew hussie's writing style was for satirizing film noir tropes. problem sleuth is still fucken hilarious even now bc of this. hussie should write more noir parodies tbh
- keeping my morale up between artfight refs by sketching my D&D PCs in different outfits. this time i focused on cenryx, because i hadn't drawn him in a while and i wanted to enjoy how fun he is to draw. #art #OCart #OCsky #dnd #dndart #dndpc #dndoc #aasimar #fashiondesign
- i love how so many TTRPG anecdotes are so utterly insane. truly incredible hobby
- being both a digital and traditional artist at the same time is weird. i can be working on new digital pieces every single damn day but if i don't occasionally draw a traditional piece my soul slowly withers and dies like i have art block anyway.
- you ever draw something that's miserable the entire process throughout and you're just whining and grinding your teeth from how bad it is, but then the moment the drawing is done you're so happy to finally be done that suddenly the world is beautiful again
- Reposted by Sye216I love deku scrubs
- sometimes being an artist means just letting yourself draw what you actually WANT to draw. and sometimes what you want to draw is your oc in a gajillion different outfits like you're playing w paper dolls. guess im gonna be doing this for the next few days
- like ive seen some ppl say that the line between horror and comedy is thin, and the line between horror and erotica is also thin, but i feel like the line between erotica and comedy can also be thin at times too and there's a lot less of that interplay in the fiction ive seen.
- sometimes it's funny making a story where the characters' sexual preferences figure so heavily into their personalities, esp when those preferences are so dif from your own, and a lot of them are things you put in there bc you find them FUNNY, and are mostly sexually uninterested in them
- there's a certain set of people on tumblr who seem to think that creating with an audience in mind for your work is the death of uniqueness in art. and god sometimes it really fucking annoys me because they seem to be laboring under this really specific assumption of what that means
- sometimes you think you are just having a bad case of art block, when in reality you are experiencing a gradually worsening allergic reaction bc u got a new brand of food item which secretly contains an unlabeled allergen and it was toasting ur brain meats. important lesson i learned today
