Another short tutorial from a year or so ago, dino/dragon paws! It's more of a niche category but I still have some more general art tips to post.
Artists, reblog and tell me in the tags what your favourite and least favourite part of your process is! With digital art, I love lineart so much, but I get really impatient with filling in flat colours.
You are not That Bitch. Being That Bitch is the grind-killer. Being That Bitch is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the pressure of The Bit. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where it has gone, there will be nothing. Only 💦💦Big Top💦💦(45) will remain.
Sweating chanting "You are not That Bitch you are just being rude to strangers on Grindr" in the bathroom mirror like a littany

changing my name to "Josh" and immediately seeing a leaderboard and annotated minimap appear in multiple corners of my vision
thought id take a crack at an obscure sorrow because the dictionary of obscure sorrows still doesnt get at everything i want words for
laccevenomism - /læt͡ʃːəˈvɛnəmɪzm/ or /lækːəˈvɛnəmɪzm/
the frustration that one cannot express discomfort because the person or situation causing it is doing something socially perceived as "good" or "selfless".
can be shortened to laccevenom if used to describe the feeling (i.e. "slowly building laccevenom") or if used in a less abstract context (i.e. "her face betrayed hints of laccevenom")
idk i think this would resonate with a couple people out there because "communicate when you're unhappy :)" advice seems engineered to coincide with a maze of situations that don't let you speak out about things.

i dont really make new years resolutions since everything i want to do i just do or it takes more than a year. years of being a student makes me feel like this is really the halfway point rather than the start of a new year. Oh well.
i think this year i want to transform my art style from the ground up. It's changed a whole lot from last year, but I didn't do much foundational stuff for it. It's just better anatomy and actually using lighting that isn't one layer of poorly thought out cell shading.
I'm not even an artist as my main thing. I just do it for fun. But I think it's better to make goals for fun things than weigh yourself down with big consequence-heavy resolutions.
Might make a side blog for just my art this year. also organize my stuff.
New profile picture coming either when i cant stand the sight of the current one or on my birthday, whichever comes first.
notice how there are only the lights on the ceiling. the ring of lights.
the night scenes are ALWAYS drawn this way. I don't know how they messed it up this bad. It's an incredible part of the atmosphere and worldbuilding and giving even what could be called an illusion of a night sky breaks that. It makes the world feel so much more generic. Also coming off of episode 9 of season 2 the animation is frighteningly stiff. I'm only in it for the soundtrack at this point. just read it on webtoon if you want to get into the series, please.
tower of god season 2 is the most glaringly terrible adaptation ive seen in a while for one reason. have you taken a look at the night scenes? do you see them in the background? the MOON and STARS???
i guess Rachel didn't need to climb anywhere past floor 20 after all because you can see the stars RIGHT THERE. in fact they're also on floor 3 in the scenes with Khun. It might seem like a minor detail in other stories but that's her whole motivation for the inciting incident of the series.
i don't particularly care about the other things people have been ragging on, but they're valid criticisms too. I'm just unreasonably irritated about this detail because it is central to the entire story. It would have taken LESS effort to not put the moon and stars in the background. Do better.
