rewatching that scene where joel talks to tommy before I go to bed cuz goddamn pedro needs an emmy and yknow the bit that gets me. where he says "I just know when I wake up, I've lost something. I'm failing in my sleep. it's all I ever do, all I've ever done, is fail her again and again" because. he doesn't specify. it's not made explicit. whether "her" is sarah. or ellie. and at this point. it's probably both

#this is the point where ellie and sarah converge in his head #hes realised just how much she means to him. how much he loves her #and its tearing him apart because he knows what losing her will do to him and he knows he cant protect her #his assumption that hes going to lose her. becuase hes lost his little girl before. and ellie is just the same #ELLIE IS THE SAME. SHES SARAH. IN HIS MIND SHES SARAH. IN EVERY WAY #the last of us #tlou #tlou spoilers

I was wanting to try doing an art piece in the style of the signature spell poster art pieces you create. But I’m not really the best at coming up with a composition for such a thing.

Do you have a process for how you come up with the compositions for them?

oh, awesome! it is an INCREDIBLY enjoyable style to work in; I hope you have fun with it! :D

I'm not great at putting my thought/art process into words, so my apologies if this doesn't make a lot of sense, but I'll try! my first step is always to do a LOT of thumbnails to figure out both the idea and how I want to show it; not trying to do a real sketch or anything, just little doodles to figure out what exactly I'm trying to portray. (I also call these "garbage passes" because they're not meant to be any good, they're just there to throw things out. aha. ha. ...anyway.) I think it's important during that first stage to really focus on the idea and the layout and not to get too bogged down in the actual drawing yet!

I tend to save my final thumbnails, so I'll use 'em as examples (I posted the ones up through episode 5 here if you're interested!) (and, uhhh, spoilers through episode 5 also in this post, hopefully that won't be an issue!)

the main thing I try to think about in composition is balance -- not necessarily in terms of symmetry, but in where each element is placed and how much space it's taking up. remember, empty space is still space! it's also really important to think about the parts that don't have anything in them, as much as the parts that do!

personally, I like to divide things up roughly by both halves and by thirds -- there's a lot more in-depth info out there on why the "rule of thirds" in particular works well visually, but in short, our brains tend to focus on things that are placed closer to imaginary division lines, instead of in the exact center of an image. so even when I'm doing something that is very centered and symmetrical, I try to keep that in mind and generally aim around those for landmarks like faces/eyes (or...where they would be, anyway) and other focal points.

it's not a formula of "the character's face should be in this division of this grid" or anything, more like "our minds like to focus on these areas, let's think about how to use that", if that makes sense! and of course rules are made to be broken, art is lawless anarchy, and so on. but it can be a good starting place for deciding where you want to put things!

(blue - thirds, red - half)

and against the finished versions, because they do usually end up changing a lot (including the empty space of the border):

(...these actually lined up a lot better than I thought they would. :') it makes me look like I do things way more intentionally than I do.)

other stuff I just try to keep in mind is that our eyes like following arcs and paths, which can be a good way to guide the eye:

and frame and control the focus:

honestly, composition is one of those things I feel like I struggle with a lot, so I'm not sure how much of this is helpful or actually makes sense outside of my head. but hopefully it helps a little! it's all just stuff to think about while drawing and not anything hard-and-fast, so don't, like, stress out about making sure things are lining up exactly on the thirds or anything. again, it's more "our brains think these are the dopest parts of the rectangle" than anything else! take advantage of the cool parts of the rectangle!

NOW GO HAVE FUN DRAWING seriously though, it is always super cool that other people like this idea and style enough to want to do it themselves and for other/their own characters! thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

#art #sketch #twisted wonderland #...technically i guess? it's not about twst but there is twst art present anyway #i did have a few more examples but then i wasn't sure if you were cool with episode 7 spoilers. whoops. 🫠#many other people have explained the rule of thirds and directional flow way better than me and i apologize #it is so hard to put things into words i am so sorry #me: the...you know...the lines...they sort of converge? like a triangle?#the internet: mm-hmm. yes. go on.#me: (sweating) the...the triangle points here...because it...it has a point.#the internet: it's doing better than you are then #genuinely shocked at how well some of these line up though #uh. i mean. actually it was all totally intentional and i put actual thought into it! NOT an accident at all!#my eyes darting back and forth shiftily are just ✨following the paths✨

both alex and steve are older than the concept of gender in minecraft. they have no opinion on the matter theyre just players man. but they also don't particularly care about correcting people when they go into villages n stuff. when in rome do as the romans do (have pronouns)

#nondescript post #alex and steve spawned at the same time in different locations. to me #bc i am soooooooo sick of Girl One comes second and also theyre not adam and eve #they lived and learned the enviroments seperately before converging at some point #still prior to running into anyone else #they go waaaaaaaaaaay back #minecraft

artfight around the corner and scrambling to get some kind of refs done for my babygirl. a civilian pilot working in the supernatural disaster mitigations system in a retrofitted fighter looks grandiose but her other ride is still one of the shittiest looking fords you can imagine

#and her other other ride is a 330SC among other things #I KNOW not everything here is perfectly accurate but thog don't care at this point it looks good enough fuck it we ball #my ocs #delaney #codesverse #my art #shes not the oc in my icon but they have a weird convergent evolution thing going on so they look similar #btw if mutuals or followers want my af user feel free to ask

Having a normal time (debating on whether or not time lords can be classified as mammals)

#I am doing this instead of working on my actual mammology homework #like they obviously didn’t evolve on earth but they do have a lot of traits that mammals do #idk if it’s explicitly stated anywhere but they seem to be endothermic #also they have hair although I wonder if it’s made of something other than keratin #or is there like some sort of universal convergent evolution with that #actually it would be interesting if time lord hair wasn’t made of keratin because then what would it be made of #and if it wasn’t would that mean they also had non keratin nails #this is not the point but I got off track #it’s also not that they give live birth but that’s like because of a curse they used to do that #also like when they did have actual children did they produce milk to feed them or was there some other way #so like they might be able to be classified as mammals because they fit some of those things and it’s a unsure on the others #I should really be doing my homework or like studying #I have an exam tomorrow #this is fine #time lord speculative biology is more fun #doctor who #time lords

niche ass post feel free to disregard:

as a linguistics nerd, it’s always fascinating to me how dan and phil both manage to mispronounce so many words but always in a different way to each other. like “consummate” in the most recent dapg vid? dan pronouncing it consjumate/consyoomate and phil pronouncing it conʃumate/conshewmate and neither of them acknowledging they said different words? adding a palatal approximate (/j/ or “ya”) i can excuse kind of but i cannot find a single instance of adding a postalvelar fricative (/ʃ/ or “sh”) being accepted pronunciation. oh to be a fly on the wall in the phouse getting to gather linguistic data on them, then making a corpus of phanology (phorpus, if you will) <3

Another Citrine doodle upon ye

#look at those perspective guidelines #aren’t they so aesthetically pleasing #yeah… go converge into a point somewhere off the canvas!! or smth idk what normal ppl say when they see those #but it probably isn’t that #wf citrine #warframe

…and if i said ‘maps’ from fun home is also spankoffski brothers coded (specifically pete’s pov)?

#hatchetfield #ted spankoffski #pete spankoffski #spankoffski bros #tgwdlm #black friday #nightmare time #npmd #like. the image stuck in my head is pete roaming about town after [whichever one of teds deaths] just to look at everywhere he'd been #they keep calling it a ‘tiny town’ so like. what is the true distance from their family home to downtown?#from the college to hidgens’ house? or the theater????#the places he went every day vs where sheila or melissa dumped his body...#his entire existence within the confines of this Tiny Town...and the people he left behind still there with the empty space....#pete looking at his life in comparison to ted’s; being essentially the same age now ted was when he was born…#…the points where their lives converged; teds past and pete’s future going on in opposite directions…#head in hands. his whole life was inside

is the fact that yura loses his scar and changes his shirt color at the end of convergence (the "for most of us that's how it goes" part) just a consistency error or are you plotting something

*sweating and gulping like shaggy scooby doo* yeah it has a deep symbolic meaning

#Why did you point this out to me why did you point this out to me why did you point this out to me why why why #I will never unsee this i will never be blissfully ignorant of my mistakes ever again #convergence #asks #blog

So I’ve been designing a taxonomic system for dragons… This is a little guide for head & face morphology for my sona’s species! She’s the one in the middle, called a Variegated Mourning Dragon (Voxingensis luctus luminosus). A subspecies of the Common Mourning Dragon, luminosus are much more flashy in colours and decoration. Mourning dragons, also called Howlers, are named as such for their calls, which sound like the wails of someone in mourning.

The four ears were from a mutation thousands of years in the past, and although it causes poor hearing (due to cramped ear canals and echo issues), it wasn’t detrimental enough to impact reproductive fitness and the ancestral species was prone enough to the mutation that it ended up becoming a permanent morphological aspect.

I’ll probably end up doing lots of full body and headshot morphology sketches like this as I’ve been listing all my dragon OCs’ taxonomy in a document. It’s so fun fr

#speculative biology #dragons #dragon taxonomy #some of the classifications will change over time as I progress with this and as I add subgroups #I’ll make a graphic explaining the different orders and families at some point too #anyway. taxonomy lovers CONVERGE *two people show up bc most people hate taxonomy*#evanesce #evanesce art
