The vid was really interesting construction-wise. It’s great to see how differently other artists approach the same subject matter :)
It was kind of weird to do! I dont think I’ve ever tried sketching by looking at someone else’s sketch, haha. Things probably would have turned out differently if I just went WILLY NILLY YAY PARTY TIME on my own, but I dont think that really would have helped.
ugh that is seriously one of my favorite things about art. You can sit ten artists down and give them all the same prompt, or the same lineart, or the same subject matter to draw and each of them will give you something different. I love how different ~all of the artists~ work. It’s so much fun.

Was chatting to a fellow about some differences in our art. Since I wasn’t really sure what the difference is in what we do, I went ahead and quickly resketched a few pictures and recorded it. I always find it a lot more helpful to watch another artist work than listen to them talking about it.
Whether or not this is actually helpful… i have no idea!
I’ve honestly no idea on specific ways to help you, dude.
I grabbed two sketches you’ve done fairly recently (I think?) and kind of did a resketch of them. The first one trying to keep in mind the worried mood that I read from it. I don’t know if you meant him to be startled and jerking his head up in surprise, or sitting there tensely in fear, or what. Just going off of that expression, I thought he was probably more terrified than surprised.
So I compressed the body down. I ruffled the feathers and jerked them up higher so that he’s partially hiding his face. His head is hanging lower, the spine is really curved, the legs are tucked into the body. He doesn’t want whatever is back there coming towards him.
I did similarly with the second one - kind of sketched my general impression. I stuck closer to the pose you had at first, and then treated it like it was my own sketch and did some of the things I would go through in an attempt to make things flow better.
Neither of these are particularly polished, and it’s a bit odd to sketch something based on someone else’s work, but maybe watching me go through and edit things when they bother me will help in some way?
Honestly we have really different goals as an artist, I think, and it’s pretty normal that they would give off different emotions/feelings when other people look at them. The advice I would give to you right now is to not be afraid to be undynamic. Sometimes you have to hide a body part. It’s nice to be able to draw a leg stretched out, by why on earth is it stretched out (the first sketch.) It combats the feelings of the rest of the body. Don’t draw things because you can, try and make them smoothly flow with the rest of the body. Think about how a horse would move, and edit the limbs accordingly.

If you rape someone to avoid being dragged off for a virgin sacrifice, does it count as self defense?
alright, the image is the short answer and i am going to type a longer one instead of slap it on there because RULES WHAT RULES
LONG ANSWER: NOPE. If you’re able to overpower someone to the extent of rape, then there is a maliciousness in attacking them instead of taking the time to get away. And if one argues that there are more people to apprehend you - then what on earth were they doing when you were taking the time to strip down and get with the willful harming of someone else?

I am sleep broken.
I can sleep for 20 minutes and be perfectly okay for the next 28 hours.
If I don’t go to bed in time WHILE I’m tired, my brain/body will just go “oh okay is it tomorrow sure let’s wake up.”
I am going to be in so much trouble, schedule wise, at akon. I PROMISE TO NOT CRASH MY CAR ON THE WAY TO THAT CANDY SHOP, END.
…guys lets go kill zombies lets do that thing I’m awake now. I wont even tease end too much when she inevitably pops a boomer right next to me.

you’re taking advantage of the fact that I’ve been awake for A LOT OF HOURS to make weird raptor noises and flood my inbox
to be fair i did try to sleep last night
but every time I laid down I suddenly got a burst of energy and got up to draw things instead.
Corgi was like IM GONNA GUILT YOU INTO GOING TO SLEEP and I kind of laughed so instead she’s yelling at me in my inbox
but i am really tired
but i am probably going to end up needing to let jonah out

why are the fire benders still the evil ones? Like they keep mentioning HORRIBLE THINGS benders did and then they’re like it was a fire bender, harsh whisper.
- killed mako’s parents. Right in front of him.
- burned amon’s face
- burned the sato mansion (the mom/wife? I dont recall without checking.)
why, firebenders? Why are you still the bad guys? I mean. I guess if you want to ~get into it~ they’re probably still the most volatile natured people even without the whole war thing
but ERRY TIME, MAN. ERRY TIME IT’S A FIREBENDER.
Otherwise I’m still having these major nerd fits about the background art and music and the animation in tlok. Iiii… I like korra LESS than Aang so far and I’m really hoping that changes but I still love her and, well, everything ahhh.
Filed under tlok why firebenders why cant you get along with everyone else stop killing people you know? it's really just kind of not a good thing do it less i would be in the fire nation in the avatar world so i make frowny faces at you guys killing all of the things like a disapproving parental face sometimes i get carried away when im writing tags i would probably make my entire blog in tags if everyone read them instead of just most of us creepers

I’m not even going to tell you the catcalls I received in Manhattan when I lived there. It’s a shitty thing. If you are a lady chances are you know what it’s like to walk down the street and feel afraid of every dude you see thinking “is that guy on the corner going to say some shit to me? Please dude, do not say anything to meeee.” Anyway if you don’t know what it’s like to be harassed whenever you leave the house, here is an article where women talk about that: http://rookiemag.com/2012/05/it-happens-all-the-time/
Since this is in the same vein as the earlier discussion (and because Jess Fink is amazing), I thought you guys might appreciate seeing it.
Sadly, being hollered at by knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers is one of the hazards of being female in public.
Yeaaaah, calling it a “hazard of being female in public” kinda implies that we should have considered that risk before attempting that action and therefore just need to live with the consequences of our decision. This may not have been your intention but fuck. I was not aware that taking a step out of the house while having a vagina (or identifying as female, regardless of genitalia) was comparable to rollerblading without knee pads and a helmet.
*shrugs*
Eh. I think girls just need to take a chill pill, lol
And I just think you still don’t understand how disturbing it is, Lol.
Next time a creepy old man starts playing with himself in public while staring at you, then you might rethink that prescription.
I’ve started treating random guys talking to me in a way that makes me uncomfortable like I would train a DOG. The mentality of “any attention, even bad, is rewarding.”
I have perfected the act of acting deaf and walking around people like I just don’t even see them. Responding in any way seems to offer up ~more incentive~ for them to go on. Putting on the ice queen act leaves them trailing off awkwardly when I act like they don’t exist.
It isn’t the best way to deal with a person who is being disrespectful, but it works decently well for me… Most of the time.
I find it pretty difficult to understand how someone CAN’T understand why having a stranger grab your hair when you walk by and make lewd comments, or block doorways you need to go through while making suggestive gestures would make a girl (would make anyone?) less than comfortable.
