You love to see it.

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Day 24, learning to draw from scratch. I decided to do this specific picture of her to practice value and specific parts of the face. I was trying to make certain parts of her face bleed into others in a way that looked somewhat realistic. reference in reply below ⬇️ #art #myart

found this cool guy on the way to the pub yesterday

all love and respect to Logan Rozos, a Black trans artist, revolutionary voice and truth-teller who used NYU’s platform to indict genocide.

We were never supposed to have this much access to stupid people’s thoughts

Day 23, learning to draw from scratch. One is a daffodil, one is a Madonna lily, the rest I made up. I did some experiments with texture and value off screen as well. I'll probably add to this in the future. #art #myart

Daily sketch 22, learning to draw from scratch. This flower is called a hollyhock. There's also a small frog in the middle. Whenever I draw trees/flowers they dont look "organic." I really need to practice texture and value. #art #myart

Seven cardinals #art #myart I had drawn a composition for this painting but it got away from me completely and morphed into something else totally different. This was fun to make. The birds are in a tree over a lake during a storm.

#Pokédex: 127-132 🪲🐂🐡🫧🟣 Love Lapras and big Ditto! 💙💜😆 I also made Gyrados take up more space and circle around the page! 😊 #pokemon #pokédex #sketchbook #coloredpencil #artchallenge #doodles #Pinsir #Tauros #Magikarp #Gyarados #Lapras #Ditto

Coco and now Sinners… people don’t just want original movies, they want ones that don’t center white experiences. they want culturally rich, bold, empathetic, challenging stories. entertainment sectors (especially AAA games!) need to stop believing that people will only show up for white stories.

Daily sketch 21, learning how to draw from scratch. Attempts were made. #art #myart

Daily sketch 20, learning to draw from scratch. I'm very quickly learning how important value is in making something look decent. The hatching is messy, the linework is scuffed, the eyes are off. I'm going to sketch her again at some point this week. Reference in replies below ⬇️ #art #myart #sketch

Some of my mutuals post/repost some willld stuff

#pokemontcgpocket pulls of the week. I think I'm going to build a tapu bulu deck.

Today’s Canadian painting is “Flower Border, Usher Farm, York Mills” painted by JEH MacDonald in 1915 or 1916. With gratitude and affection to all mothers on this special day.

"Haystacks in a field of wildflowers on an unbearably warm spring afternoon" I did this to learn about blending colors and test out a new drawing/art app. This landscape was fun to make but I should've composed it better. #art #myart

Daily sketch 19. I am no George Perez. Reading through the avengers and saw a splash page I wanted to use to practice figure drawing women. The leftmost is the original by George Perez, the middle is the start of my sketch and the last is a more finished, cleaned up version. #art #myart

www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignm... The questions in this test were too situational and not specific enough. And as I understand chaos in this instance means more of like... antiauthoritarianism and doing what you want without following social norms/agreed upon precepts as opposed to *literal chaos.*

gonna start saying “is the pope from Chicago?” when someone asks me an obvious question

Daily sketch 18. I drew a lot of stick figures to get the (rough)proportions of a human body (roughly)downpat. I also drew a nude body in a position that looks somewhat suggestive(not on purpose, I was honestly just following the reference) and realized I probably shouldn't post it here. #art #myart

Tsareena's trivia section on bulbapedia is crazy. Between that, guzzlord eating an island full of people, and what the leaks said, Alola was kind of unhinged.

I wrote about Sinners. Watching so many Black folk call the film "demonic", I explain how its central horror -- and triumph is that the film casts Black/African spirituality as an effective challenge to Western Christianity. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Saw #thunderbolts today. 3.5/10. (If we disagree I completely respect your opinion) As someone who has seen and *enjoyed* many slow moving movies that most ppl would call boring I thought this movie was... too slow and too boring. Nonspoiler thoughts in replies below. ⬇️ #filmsky #mcu

Daily sketch, learning to draw from scratch day 17. I've been working on this mountainscape/landscape on and off for a few days. I tried to incorporate what I've learned about value into this drawing, including scumbling and different hatching techniques. I'll prob add to it later. #art #myart

Daily sketch, learning to draw from scratch day 17. Shapes and heads today. I'm learning how shapes change based on eye level and perspective. I also practiced value and started paying more attention to how to represent light and shadow in a drawing. #myart #art

I'm not a therapist, but some of my moots seem to be... wrestling with their mental health? If anyone(mutual or not) needs to talk or vent my dms are open. Just know I may not reply right away.

Daily sketch, learning how to draw day 16. I practiced head shapes, eyes, general shapes, and value. I also sketched these makuhita using a Pokémon card as reference. (I only today realized he is a *literal* punching bag. Funny.) I might just practice shapes tomorrow. #art #myart #pokemonart
