debating if draw for a little bit or just pass the fuck out stupid early
I WILL HAVE A STRONK HEART
Feels good knowing that I could get through the video despite it being intense. A few months ago I wouldn't have had the stamina for it. Yey, health progress!! Also nice that the heart palpitations I had during my bad health saga have pretty much gone away since I started doing cardio.
Eyeball Sun is the newest linocut print in PomPoison Studios—look for it in “Linocut and Serigraph Prints”: pompoison-studios.square.site
Also, check out The Cradle of Eternal Night, an F/F fantasy novel by @ladzwriting.bsky.social I originally designed it for: ladzwriting.itch.io/the-cradle-o...
I sat down now after being done and I do not want to move
my mom and I decided to do a workout together tonight and holy shit she accidentally picked the most fucking intense cardio workout video we are both SWEATING
It's definitely interesting to think about. I also like how he went from Earthly Paradise to Purple Destruction. Now I must ponder dumb surnames to give my boy.
Yessss, GOOD TASTE. I actually had no idea what he looked like when I started listening to them and then when I saw him it was like OOOOOOOOH.
I love birds ;_;
I freaked out seeing it in the yard on my way home today and had to immediately rush to try to get a picture. I hope it stays safe.
I told my parents I thought I saw a mutant black & white robin on my walk the other day and they didn't believe me at all and thought I saw some other bird. Turns out I was right.
Rare leucistic robin.
I constantly think about the great artworks we've love this generation to the content mill algo. Everyone pushed into daily output, highly disincentivized to take risks, absolutely stifling to artistic growth.
I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
That one is the Tougen surname. I guess the na kanji in it can also mean 'what'. His second surname, Shijou isn't a real word and is the kanji purple + disturbance.
NOT THAT YOU ASKED FOR ANY OF THIS.
Ok, well I looked and his first name isn't a real one, it's just supposed to sound like Tsunami to be cheeky that he's a fire guy. The actual kanji are port/harbor + one that's used most often in the work for master + beauty. Lol. His first surname is a word meaning 'shangri-la/earthly paradise'
Crying, weeping, bby Sakurai inspired Tsunami!!!! I hadn't thought of Acchan as an influence for Tsunami, but I'd love to see it (or anything else you'd do with him heeheeeee).
I figured it'd help keep my own fucking around separate to some degree, but also isn't out there as far as canon. And now I need to be stupid and assess the kanji of Tsunami's surnames to see if there is a theme.
Yessss, BE FREE AND MAKE WHAT YOU LIKE✨
Yes!! They are valid and I'm glad it's starting to feel like there are lots of people online who will defend those things.
Do u have images 👀
It will still be black-clad turtleneck + trenchcoat and whatnot because I love it, but I will play around a little. Also debating a different surname to differentiate my version given that manga canonically has a surname change already.
"The KIDS Act is being used as a smokescreen for everything Big Tech lobbyist want, which is a national surveillance program where they can harvest the personal and private data of every American, with zero actual protections."
(conservative thinking about art) art would be better if artists were normal
Happy Friday, I just typed a sales order number into the microwave instead of the time to heat up my lunch. Is it weekend yet.
SOON. I have mentally been debating on character design a lot recently b/c if I'm making my own iteration, I get to design it.
It's so whack, I can at least appreciate that he seems to go full steam ahead with his ideas.
anyway, I will draw him soon
still uncertain why I have latched onto Tsunami, but I have adopted him
Exactly💀 It is no longer me just fucking around it's Serious Business
