its blogtime
Dec. 21st, 2019 02:32 pmi miss the era of static websites, i really do. we're supposed to write an essay about whatever we want for school and i've been thinking of writing one about the effect of the rise of social media and specifically how it has affected the wellbeing of artists online. i don't think i've ever found my place in the land of hectic web after livejournal, i don't know what it was about tumblr but i never felt encouraged to write about my personal life and i ended up with a process of kind of losing a lot of connections i had formed through for about 6 years online. it sucked, it really did! it has gotten harder over the years. you'd need to basically keep up constantly to be able to see everything. you've read enough articles about how social media is toxic to your brain, you know how it is. I DON'T NEED TO PREACH ABOUT IT. WE'RE ALL GONNA KEEP USING BRAIN POISON WEBSITES ANYWAY.
BUT, to counter this, i want to start blogging. i already feel a sense of zen in being able to anchor and calm myself into something with stability in an online environment. i imagine if someone who hasn't a history with online culture or community would find it weird to think about this kind of thing too much, but when you're 14 and spend a lot of your formative years finding that the people most closest to your mindspace are in different timezones around the globe and accessible through online and you survive a lot of things because of that, that and all those connections i've made throughout these years are not something i intend to give up so easily even when i'm now 30 years old. i intend to have my cake and EAT IT TOO
want to see what i've drawn during the past week? OF COURSE YOU DO
i started a nsfw choose your own adventure comic down at my nsfw twitter, jungle blind date was originally going to be a comic for a swedish erotic monster anthology, but i didnt have the time to finish it for its deadlines, so intend to, sort of! finish this story through this really fun sketchy style comic. its such a fun breeze to go through, i definitely want to make more after this one
im participating into a charity gurozine about medical procedures, look forward to that!
a house of secrets.............. my comic's been on hold because for the next panel i'm drawing i need to design a tavern/saloon. it's sign is a snake that has heads on both it's ends, eating bundles of rowanberries! the name is important, it's a place where a lot of important events of the comic happen
this is my first time drawin alex and miska, they're a (literal) couple of graverobbers whove so far appeared in my school work as a reoccuring pair of characters and im heavily considering writing a short movie of them. it's kind of interesting to think about them without visuals, because getting attached to a certain look is no good when you intend to make student budget films.
i also started designing a dragonborn for a homebrew campaign with a more humanoid look, i never realized but ive never even thought of a dragonborn before. KIND OF WEIRD, HONESTLY
i saw lots of great fanart about gourdie from the new pokemon game and i was reminded of my favourite thing: chubby guys with SWAG. thats what i started from and i got to some kind of heavy metal album cover guy. he plays the bass? we'll see how this goes, i always take about 50 turns and decisions before settling in on a character that feels good to play to me
NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THEHARDEST PART OF MAKING A DRAGONBORN THOUGH!!!!!!!! what's your favourite? i've gotten lots of votes for copper and the monochrome palette ones.
i headed out with the intention of writing even more but iwas supposed to sleep 40 minutes ago and i'm starting out as a boom operator in a really cool student project starting EARLYY tomorrow so a media student shitbaby needs their sleep. i leave you with this trailer to promising young woman which i enjoyed greatly and my letterboxd account lets follow eachother. i will blog more i enjoyed this
