It’s been a while but now I’ve done 29 out of the 60 odd characters I’m drawing from the Magnus archives. We have : Jude Perry, Jordan kennedy, Jonah Magnus and John Amherst …. I am feeling the effects of insanity
i feel like people forget that homestuck had a lot of talented musicians working on it, not just toby
this bothers me mostly because one of the most iconic songs, Doctor, was composed by a trans person (she/her, her name was George Buzinkai, im not sure how she identified beyond her pronouns) who passed away in 2018. for all of homestuck's many flaws i think it's okay and good to celebrate art like this that came from it
i know i already reblogged this but here's Doctor so you can remind yourself what a great song it is
I made up some iscan/Palina kids so my mellingo kids could have some friends lmao
Have to admit I go to Hot Topic so I can say this, does anyone know what’s up with that shirt of anime Spongebob transforming into a muscular version of himself behind broken glass?

idk why i’m getting involved with this, but if you check out the artists’ DA you’ll see she has less than 500 followers and seems to mostly have been minding her own business before being chosen for the contest.
People are showing up on her page to make fun of her but her style is actually raw as hell
Anyway, I hope people will choose to be nice to her, she’s freaking out from all of the sudden negative attention.
How many of us here are so new to the internet that we can say this is the weirdest art we’ve seen? Very, very few of us, I’d have to imagine.
My favorite mermaid art is the one of a family photo with a mermaid mother and old sailor father and their sons are both reverse merfolk (human legs with fish heads).
This is the one!
It's by Jessica Warrick.
Doodled Akari & Rei going swimming in the highlands w Melli and Ingo. Because I like them. Octillery is planning some water gun mischief 🔫🐙
The art history version of “you’d look prettier if you smiled more”
you know what? fuck this *un-smiles your painting*
Anonymous asked:
for an art request, maybe smile dog but as a lil puppy?
She has human baby teeth
She does that dog thing where she dances around and sneezes when she wants to play but it sprays blood every time which is somehow yours
Posting this here bc I’ve been neglecting my tumblr regarding posting art. Anyway I wanted to do this Twitter meme with warden ingo bc my talent is somehow yassifying and crinkling characters at the same time. Like they’re yassified but also they’ve been dragged thru gravel for good measure so it kinda evens back out adfgdfbb
What the fuck
This is absolutely fascinating. I've now been looking at Alex Colville's paintings and trying to work out what it is about them that makes them look like CGI and how/why he did that in a world where CGI didn't exist yet. Here's what I've got so far:
- Total lack of atmospheric perspective (things don't fade into the distance)
- Very realistic shading but no or only very faint shadows cast by ambient light.
- Limited interaction between objects and environment (shadows, ripples etc)
- Flat textures and consistent lighting used for backgrounds that would usually show a lot of variation in lighting, colour and texture
- Bodies apparently modelled piece by piece rather than drawn from life, and in a very stiff way so that the bodies show the pose but don't communicate the body language that would usually go with it. They look like dolls.
- Odd composition that cuts off parts that would usually be considered important (like the person's head in the snowy driving scene)
- Very precise drawing of structures and perspective combined with all the simplistic elements I've already listed. In other words, details in the "wrong" places.
What's fascinating about this is that in early or bad CGI, these things come from the fact that the machine is modelling very precisely the shapes and perspectives and colours, but missing out on some parts that are difficult to render (shadows, atmospheric perspective) and being completely unable to pose bodies in such a way as to convey emotion or body language.
But Colville wasn't a computer, so he did these same things *on purpose*. For some reason he was *aiming* for that precise-but-all-wrong look. I mean, mission accomplished! The question in my mind is, did he do this because he was trying to make the pictures unsettling and alienating, or because in some way, this was how he actually saw the world?
omf i never thought i'd find posts about alex colville on tumblr, but! he's a local artist where i'm from & i work at a library/archives and have processed a lot of documents related to his art. just wanted to give my two cents!
my impression is that colville did see the world as an unsettling place and a lot of his work was fueled by this general ~malaise?? but in a lot of cases, he was trying to express particular fears or traumas. for instance, this painting (horse and train) was apparently inspired by a really tragic experience his wife had:
iirc she was in a horrible automobile crash, as the car she was in collided with a train. i find it genuinely horrifying to look at, knowing the context, but a lot of colville's work is like that? idk he just seems to capture the feeling you get in nightmares where everything is treacle-ish and slow and inevitable.
Jesus Christ.
I like this Facebook group for terrible art found in charity shops because like a solid quarter of the submissions are just famous paintings the posters don’t recognize, and who are frightened and confused by anything other than idyllic realist landscapes.
I think this group is good for me because it allows me to channel my immense hater energies into disdain for these absolutely tasteless people who do not actually appreciate art in any capacity beyond “looks pretty”.
Like, granted, there is plenty of amateur art clearly painted by someone fumbling through the material and subject matter without a plan. There’s plenty of tacky stupid art that isn’t camp enough to be interesting. And then there are the paintings of Jesus which are pretty much always bad no matter how much skill goes into them.
But like…. so much of it is just abstract or expressionist art, or portraits of people who aren’t classically beautiful, by artists with great technical and compositional prowess:
I know some people philosophically don’t believe in bad art, which sure okay fine. I do. But half the shit in this group is just “weird” and not “bad” in any capacity. The cat painting I include because it’s obviously painted by a talented artist BUT ALSO because I’m honestly surprised at how tacky I DON’T find it, despite the boring subject matter.
Anyway. I’m going to attack people.
Here’s a commission for @hisshex of her OC Prosperity! Thank you so much for commissioning me! And to anyone interested, feel free check out my commission info which is pinned on my blog!
Occasionally I try to paint a more rendered ingo portrait and usually it looks kinda weird because submas look weird when not toony but here is another shot at it adfgdfbb
Wanted to try to do a zekrom gijinka that’s not based on submas. I lowkey want this outfit tbh.
