He/Him - Pan/AceI also sometimes go by Applhead on some things. I do a lot of digital art and am dipping my toes into animation. I make lot of character designs, fanart and ships, and sometimes dabble in background/environments.I take commissions! Message me if you're interested.
Hey art people who sell their stuff online and/or at cons of tumblr,
I've been wanting to get into selling my art as prints, keychains, sticker, etc. online and eventually at conventions (also commissions which I've been able to do a few of already through family and friends).
I was originally planning on starting an Etsy shop, but I've heard lately that it isn't a great option anymore, so now I'm thinking I'll make a website and have shop there, but to get traffic I figure I'll have to have a social media presence, which I'm not really sure how to go about doing. I mean I have this account here on Tumblr but I post very infrequently and I don't really know what I'm doing, and I'm kinda worried cuz maintaining a social media account just sounds really stressful.
Does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom to offer? Either in running an online shop, or maintaining a social media account
Okay I apparently started trying to post this ages ago and just forgot to actually finish and post it, so uh here's a now kind of old drawing but hey I think its cute
(here's what I originally had written for the post lol)
lil character design thing I did a while ago for fun
I think I used some sort of prompt for it
(I think I was gonna say that I forgot what prompt I used, or I was gonna say what it was but I've forgotten now-)
I’m proud of how my art has improved and gotten kinda more cartoony, this is one I did nearly a whole year ago (this Roleplay campaign has gone on for a year it’s insane- and such a fun campaign, maybe I’ll make a post about it sometime)
I drew an expression practice of my stupid tsundere Angel boy, I’m very happy with how it turned out!
my friend showed me the original Addams family sitcom a recently, and we watched more of it the other day so I decided to draw these two
im also in a production of the musical (I play Gomez it’s so fun) so I’ve doodled them a few times, but after watching the sitcom I thought I’d draw the sitcom version specifically
Me, @yourgayfroggiefriend, @sharkboy-starmites, and a bunch of our other friends (most are not on tumblr I don’t think) that we were in a production of Starmites with are currently planning a sequel comics project together, we might share the plot that we’re planning once we finalize it
I like……… really miss Starmites. The fandom is nonexistent on here but fuck it, someone out there wistfully checks the tag on occasion like I do.
I was in Starmites when I was in middle school as Bizarbara and it became The Fucking Musical that was my jam for an entire year. So much so that I actually wrote 90% of a sequel musical for this 1989 piece of shit.
I was trash. I did it. I wrote 120-minute performance-ready fanfiction.
I didn’t know how to write music so it was all just loose lyrics and reprises and the laptop this blessed document was stored in got straight up STOLEN but a quick rundown of what I remember from the script:
-Spooky prologue origin story reveals that Dazzle is Punks baby brother!!!! What!!!!
-Yeah, I wrote the scene where the four bros walk among the ruins of their city as teenagers just after their families died in whatever war is happening. They’re the last surviving humans in the entire realm. Was I ok? Probably not.
-Eleanor was supposed to get married but she gets kidnapped by Trinkulus. Again. She discovers that one of her superpowers is telepathy and uses it pretty much constantly. She wears her wedding dress the whole fucking time.
-Bizarbara is v happy in the real world and finds this boy named Mikey who is the parallel of Space Punk so they’re Destined to Be Together even though he Can’t Know where she came from
-If you couldn’t tell Bizarbara’s the Mary Sue protag.
-All the banshees and mites hook up by the end so that’s cool. I think Balbraka ends up with Herbie, Shotzi with Ack Ack, and Maligna with Dazzle.
-The Earthmites are a football team and the earth parallel of the banshees are a drama club led by Mrs. Fairchild, the drama teacher. They’re desperate for boys in their theatre department so they draft the guys and threaten to suspend them if they don’t join the school play. That’s a major plot tool.
-I don’t remember a lot but jeez it got really complicated
-Punk and the mites and diva and the banshees end up in the real world!! For some reason. They go to school with Bizarbara. They have to go undercover. I think they hide in her basement at night?
-The Earth parallel of Trinkulus was this asshat named Calvin and honestly he was just a fuckboy and that was his threat I swear to god he was just an entitled casual misogynist and therefore he was cosmically evil like middle school me was woke
-He had a creepy Gene Kelly-esque number called “You Will Be Mine” I shit you not where did this come from????? I was 13
-Between Bizarbara and Eleanor there was more crying and gay subtext than a Steven Universe episode ladies and gents even if the latter was unintentional
-Punk is useless throughout this whole thing like good job bb you’re doing great just keep crying over your missing wife
-I have a really vivid memory of Bizarbara breaking down in the third act turning point with the lines “I don’t gotta do anything! Who do you think I am?!” and then Eleanor singing a soft chilled out version of “…you’re a starmite……..a miiiiighty starmiiiiiite…….you fight for the riiiiiight and unite to be free……..” because fuck yeah emotional reprises I thought I was so dope
-There’s a super dramatic battle at the end with all the original characters involved and I feel like it’s in the basement of the school library. Mikey barges in and Bizarbara’s like “nooooo go back it’s not safe I’ll explain later” and it’s suddenly and perfectly revealed that he grew up reading all the Starmites comics so he knows everything he needs to know to defeat the evil!!!!!
-Bizarbara gets turned back to “ugly” Bizarbara somewhere near the end so she and Mikey sing a reprise of beauty within because BEAUTY IS ABOUT WHATS ON THE INSIDE AWWWWWWWW
-FUCK I FORGOT HE PROPOSES TO HER WITH A PLASTIC STARMITES RING FROM SOME MAIL ORDER THING IN THE BACK OF ONE OF HIS COMIC BOOKS
-I just wish i still had this fucking document ok anyway I’m going to bed
