feverishly telling myself that everyone grows at their own pace while seeing yet another 13 year old with beautiful sistene chapel worthy art skills and looking back at the bland horribly drawn unappealing genuinely fucking worthless pieces of trash in my sketchbook and desperately trying to convince myself that I don’t want to quit drawing and that I do still like it and that bad art is still art (it’s not when I do it)

#actual sugar post #sorry I just. Genuinely sometimes I want to never draw again #I’ve been genuinely considering quitting making art because #I just can’t make anything that’s worth anything honestly #there are pieces that are technical achievements that get every fundamental right #there are pieces with unique styles that are genuinely interesting #there are pieces that have something to say #not only is my work technically bad but. It’s boring. I’m not creating anything beautiful or interesting or original #my work is boring and so am I. I don’t even have motivation to create anymore. I force myself to shit stuff out and take weeks to finish it #I’m gonna be an adult soon. I don’t deserve to draw if this is all I can make #I don’t even deserve to be alive. I contribute nothing to this world #I am a parasite #idk #vent #delete later

in which marius' mechanism is like an angry parasite and burrows its roots further into his body when removal is threatened.

[imade id: a digital painting of marius von raum from the mechanisms. his metal hand is clutching a bar and the arm has been ripped away from his body just below the elbow with an eruption of blood, tissue, and silver cables. the stump of his remaining arm is drenched in blood and the same silver cables snake in and out of his skin from his elbow to his neck; his whole right side is also bloodied. most of his face isn't visible, as he strains and leans away from the carnage. His eyes are shadowed. the background is nearly black with a jagged and gritty stroke of red lancing through, and the whole thing has a gritty paper effect applied over top. end id.]

#image described #marius #the mechanisms #alientoastt #body horror #blood #parasite #ask to tag #i gotta draw more mechs body horror. theyre freaky.#i dont know if this is too grotesque. it feels like it might be. but i am proud of this piece #it also might be too cartoonish for the concept its trying to get across?#oh well.

i love that if nolan’s hair isn’t styled back or it grows out enough it just falls into a natural middle part, he just like me fr

#invincible #nolan grayson #omniman #omni man #i love him #my beautiful husband who’s parasitically attached to my cerebral cortex #i headcanon’d this to my friends on discord a good while back #and I am proven yet again that I know him so well #he probably uses some kind of pomade or clay in his hair to keep it back

One paleoart for each period since the Cryogenian

Thanks to the timeline on my walls that I've been trying to fill in with my art, I have now reached the point where I've done paleoart for every single period of the Phanerozoic, plus the Ediacaran and Cryogenian! That is to say, every period of the last 700 million years. So with that milestone, I thought it'd be fun to go through those periods in order and show off one paleoart of mine for each!

Cryogenian

In the Cryogenian, the Earth completely froze over. Twice! Life wasn't much to look at yet, but I enjoyed drawing what our planet might have looked like at the time. The girdle of lakes at the left is the equator, which may have had ice-free patches.

Ediacaran

When the ice retreated, animals first began to blossom into their endless forms most beautiful. Ediacaran life was strange and quite unlike the creatures that would come later, but it was nonetheless an incredibly important chapter in life's history. Here we see the Ediacaran weirdos washing up on shore after a storm.

Cambrian

The Cambrian explosion brought much more recognisable creatures. But one thing that's easy to miss is that they were all tiny! All of them? No, Anomalocaris was, with a length of about 40 cm, the dragon of the Cambrian.

Ordovician

Life continued to diversify in the Ordovician, and among this diversity were the cephalopods. They produced the largest animals yet to exist, the orthocones, who hung vertically in the water column and decended upon their prey like a claw game.

Silurian

Although fungi and bacteria had already made forays onto the land deep in the past, things began to get busier there in the Silurian. But these horseshoe crabs, and their larger cousins the sea scorpions, have not come to the shore to stay, but to mate and lay eggs. Unfortunately for the horseshoe crabs, they have come to the very same shore.

Devonian

Our own vertebrate ancestors, like Tiktaalik, were pretty late to the party, only taking their first steps on land in the late Devonian. That's no knock against them - there was plenty to do underwater! This Tiktaalik is busy guarding his eggs while his mate is busy hunting, for example. Who has time to step on land?

Carboniferous

The end of the Carboniferous saw some quite large bugs, like these two Mazothairos chasing off an interloping Meganeura. They're representatives of a pretty interesting group of basal insects called the Palaeodictyoptera, who have a set of weird little extra wings on their thorax.

Permian

Among the many fantastic creatures of the Permian were our own cousins, the synapsids, like these lovey-dovey Moschops. As you can see, this picture and the previous one are done in coloured pencils instead of watercolour, because they're the oldest images I'm including in this post. I only very rarely used watercolours before this year. I think it means I should do some more Permian art, it's such a cool and underexposed period.

Triassic

One mass extinction later, the archosaurs are diversifying all over Triassic Pangaea. Here we have the three main groups of them: Paratypothorax, a pseudosuchian in the background; Peteinosaurus, a pterosaur on top of the cliff; and Procompsognathus, a dinosaur climbing the cliff.

Jurassic

I had three different option for Jurassic paleoart to showcase, so I picked the most experimental one. These backlit insects are not butterflies, but kalligrammatids, a group of large-winged neuroptera, some of which even mimicked maniraptoran dinosaurs like this iridescent Caihong with their patterns.

Cretaceous

The Cretaceous featured some of life's most gorgeous crescendos of diversity, like the Yixian formation, where a Psitaccosaurus wants to visit the favourite tree of a group of Sinosauropteryxes, who are having none of it. This is still one of my favourite pieces I've ever drawn.

Paleogene

The Paleogene featured some of the highest global temperatures of all time, leading to tropical climates all over the planet, including at this lake in what will one day be Messel, Germany. Darwinius, a close cousin to our own ancestors, is having a staredown with the lizard Geiseltaliellus.

Neogene

The world turned colder and dryer in the Neogene, leading to the spread of large grasslands, like these South American ones. Phorusracos, a large terror bird, has caught a Thoatherium on the edge of the forest they both live in. South America was an isolated continent for the duration of the Neogene, leading to a quite unique fauna.

Quaternary

The Quaternary, our current period, is marked by the cycle of ice ages regularly freezing the northern hemisphere. But even during the ice ages, spring would come to the mammoth steppes, and these steppe mammoths are happy to celebrate its coming with a bath in the river.

#paleoart #my art #palaeoblr #timeline #no i am not gonna tag everything in it #the pictures should all work as links to the individual posts of these pieces #cw: animal death #cw: bugs #cw: parasites #cw: blood

kinda obsessed with li tongguang and yang ying actually. they’re rival disciples vying for their shifu’s attention. they hate each other’s guts. they can’t stand the sight of each other. but then she falls from the sky and he catches her before she hits the ground. they make an allyship of their situation, young marquis and younger prince, a pawn duke and a pawn princess. they are locked in the same cage and they mourn at the same grave and they keep the same secret. they share fire-roasted taro cooked by her fire and sliced by his sword. they marry for the fates of their respective states even though they’re both in love with people who can never be theirs again. she covers him with a cloak when he insists on resting outside with the soldiers and she brings him rations and reinforcements when he needs them instead of staying away like he asked her to. the smiles they share now are less of teeth and more of oaths— i promise that i will be good to you. and when everyone they know is gone, they continue to stand side by side, guarding what was left behind. a husband and his wife, being alone together.

#a journey to love #一念关山 #sorry they have latched themselves onto my brain like a parasite and i am now 500 words in on writing a fic for them. sorry. my bad #they’re platonic spouses. they’re married best friends. theyre all they have. theyre not each other’s but they are Each Other’s.#我不属于你你不属于我但是我是你的人你也是我的人 #你的事就是我的事 etc etc #the romance of friendship 😭😭😭

the parasite

red mother, laurel radzieski / the thick of it (2005-2012) / the beggar, swans / the parasite, swans / ladybug found in transverse colon during colonoscopy / some guy on twitter in 2011 / wiktionary page for stoma / the thick of it 2x01 commentary / some article / peachy, missy higgins / various images of ophiocordyceps, cordyceps, and other insects

#hello ive been working on this unconstitutionally long post for like a month. sorry its so fucking cluttered. there is still more i could #add in but i am cutting it off here. max recced me 'red mother' its a poem from the perspective of a parasite and everyone should read it #this post kind of portrays both malcolm and ollie as parasites of each other - malcolm as the overbearing ophiocordyceps controlling ollie'#every move and ollie as the tapeworm or some shit small and sapping away malcolm's strength until he kills him #really they are both hosts to the same parasite. which is of couse working for the british government #anyway my favourite parts of this are the mouth/anus bit (starts losing my mind) and no yeah actually idk all of it #the thick of it #shut up ulrike #my webweaves #webweave #malcolm tucker #ollie reeder #sorry for this objectively fucking insane post. i will never change #long post

I'm so excited for Malevolent s5 I hope John and Arthur regress in development. Especially John. I want heartbreak. I want drama. I want to feel the EXACT feeling I felt at the end of EP 40 when Arthur yelled

#Malevolent #i listened to the qna they released and god im so excited. I'm SO excited. Still a believer that if separation happens Arthur is going to di #e and John will have to deal with that. I am a tragedy enjoyer firstly. Rip those two apart and like a parasite and its host one can't surv #ive without the other. Arthur is slowly wasting away...
