I made a 'redraw' of the scene (an amzing one if u asked me) when Luz come back to life with her new Titan Form on the TOH Episode Finale

Hey :)

Long time no see huh, Im here humbly offering u some of my art u.u

Putted a lot of effort and time on this piece to show u all the love/appreciation I've for this show, its creator and all the crew that made everything possible <3

Dont be sad that it ended, be happy that it happened ;)

Hope u like it!

Will StarClan be changed in anyway? Also did any other books go differently? Such as Leopardstar's honor or the Forbidded Spottedleaf's Heart?; or did even some cats change besides the ones you already have mentioned? Is not everyone related to Firestar. (Also your art is amzing, I loaf in so much). Ahhh more questions? Will names be changed; IF Twigbranch is made a warrior in any of the Clans will her name be changed or stay the same. Twigbranch is one of my faves so...

I just want to say how much I’ve missed writing for you guys, answering questions, and just fleshing out the Warriors world. What an amazing fandom it is, and I just appreciate everyone who interacts with and supports me so sincerely much. Thank you! <3

StarClan change - there’s a higher power above StarClan, like one single all knowing being. StarClan is just a bunch of dead cats and they interact with the living here and there as needed to pass on the higher power’s foreseeable word. This higher being, known as Chi (a very large chimera cat) is concerned though as the barrier between living and dead is wavering. These cats are leaving physical marks and can harm the living, something Chi doesn’t want. This is the catalyst for Power of Twelve, Chi granting powers to the mortal 12 in hopes they can find the way to sever the connection and push both StarClan and The Dark Forest away.

This is very hard for the 12 to learn as time goes on. They realize what they must do, but they’re all young and have grown up with StarClan being the brightest of lights and the most trustworthy. However, upon having their faith shaken and realizing not all of StarClan is alright with what they’re attempting to do, the 12 understand light and darkness are two sides that must exist in equal parts. To dispel the Dark Forest, they must also dispel StarClan.

Books that went Differently - Spottedleaf’s Heart was extensively changed. Thistleclaw doesn’t even attempt a relationship, he just tries to manipulate her to give him favor with Sunstar so that he might become deputy and then leader. It’s kinda like a Hawkfrost/Mothwing situation where ambitious warrior bullies medicine cat to fake signs and get what they want.

As for Leopardstar’s Honor, I’d remove her having romantically loved Frogleap and Tigerstar. Idk, she always read as ace/aro if anything - just very much thinking about RiverClan and making them the best. It just feels very unnecessary for her story, especially when I find it far more compelling the way she adopts Whiteclaw and tends to him after the death of his parents. Her being this single mother who cares for him like her father and the clan did for her I think is far more poetic than her little romantic bursts, but that’s just me.

Finally I think I would’ve either made it clearer her disdain for half-clan cats that she’d kill some of her closest friends, OR lean into it being the ThunderClan problem because Leopardstar was endlessly bothered by ThunderClan. I mean losing her best friend, losing Whiteclaw, Oakheart, Sunningrocks quarrels, Silverstream, and then Tigerstar whispering in her ear and the usurping, and now she learns about two of her close friends Mistyfoot and Stonefur?? Like pick a narrative and I guess sell that a bit more because it feels like there’s something there and they have the pieces but they’re not really tying it into that bow that I’d personally like to see.

I guess those are more writing critiques than event changes, but geez I’d also sell Leopardstar’s actual honor and redeem her better than whatever book did. Oh yeah, what if they acknowledged her diabetes?

Name changes do happen! Sparkpelt is now Sparkfire and Twigbranch is now Twigshade. I chose Twigshade so then she matches with her sister Violetshine.

I'm definitely drawing that one thing now and it'll probably mainly be a vent but I won't be using any references but my brain to see how I do for now...I'm trying to gauge how much I've really learned or if I need to change how I'm doing it in order to improve

OOooOoa well I’m very excited then!!!!!

Yo know I love 3D art :3

And ayooo? I say go for it with no refs to start with. If it’s not working, then you can grab the refs out but I def think go for a challenge and see! You continue to improve and and get increasingly more amzing with every new piece so you’ve def got this!!🩷❤️❤️

Happy birthday to Napoleon II, aka the Eaglet, aka the King of Rome, or Franz, Duke of Reichstadt. I couldn’t stand how all the mentions of his birth were just pictures of him as a baby, accompanied by the mother who abandoned him: so here he is, as a (gorgeous, brooding) adult.

Hello you absolutely amzing artist!! I was wondering if that absolutely gorgeous FitzSimmons family piece you just drew would go up on your redbubble account sometime in the future or if since I believe it was a commissioned piece it won’t be available - totally understand either way I just wanted to ask since I thought I it would make the cutest sticker 😍

Hello anon! I usually ask permission for commissions to go up on my Redbubble (they paid for the art, I don’t feel comfortable making more money off it it unless they say I can) but I just asked and they said go for it, so the art is now up on my Redbubble! Go get all the stickers you want!

Having artist friends is fucking great because they actually understand your struggles and rejoice in your accomplishments (aka when someone agrees to pay for a piece of art). Like, "Hmph, this douche asked me to draw him and when I told him I only take commissions, he threw a hissy fit." "Ugh, that bitch."

"Hello friendo I've run out of things to draw on, gimme your arm" "*Extends arm without batting an eye*"

"SOMEONE ACTUALLY PAID ME FOR MY WORK OMG" "THAT'S AMZING WELL DONE BBY"

"This dickface stole my pencil!" "Ugh, what little shit. Here, I have a spare." "But it was mechanical!" "THEY DID WHAT"

amazon infographics

Amazon only gives a person 9 image slots, therefore it is more reasonable to have amazon product photos that convert into sales. But Amazon photo infographics do the trick to perfection.

The reason as to why Instagram is popular is because of the Flashy photos, buyers will scroll through your amazon photos and most of them won’t even read your listing, because of this piece of information, amz graphic makes professional amazon infographics images.

Amazon infographics simplify the product description because infographics will always highlight the features and the benefits of a product. They only come second to amazon product video when it comes to conversations and profits.

How amazon infographics converts to sales:

Highlighting the crucial features of a product enables the buyer to see virtually how the product will come in handy. This will help your product to convert efficiently into sales.

people will always ask themself how beneficial the product will be. Highlighting benefits on amazon product photos makes it easy to convenience the buyer to make the purchase.

The luckiest sellers who can exploit the power of infographics are the ones selling lifestyle products. Enhancing lifestyle product images with infographics attracts buyers. It may sound tricky but in terms of returns, it is very effective.

33: van gogh or michelangelo?

Of those two... gonna have to say Van Gogh.

Michelangelo was an amazing artist. His scuptures are breathtaking... you don’t realise how big David is until you see it, something like 17ft tall. How you can carve something so amzing from a piece of marble amazes me.

But, for art that I can hang on a wall and that matches me, it has to be Van Gogh. The movement he shows with a few coloured brush strokes is awe inspiring. Most people automatically think of Sunflowers, Starry Night, and his chair or bedroom pictures ... Wheatfield with Crows, you can almost hear the birds flapping into the air as wind rushed through the grain ... beautiful.

Hi Can you make a story about this. ps. your drawings are amzing

Thanks, Anon!! ☺️💜💜

I’m sorry, I’m a little confused by which art piece you’d like a story about??😅

ON HER WORK:

I am currently working on a series, "Family History", which catalyzed by my late partner’s illness and my experience navigating the healthcare system. I am interested in the liminal spaces we inhabit in the process of illness and caregiving. This liminal space combines at once the urgency of time passing and an intense focus on the present, on the daily processes of living. Memory of this time is mutable, fabricated out of visual fragments and habitual gestures, like a muscle memory that lingers long after the events have passed. In Turn I re-enacted the motions of turning someone over using a blanket. Since my memory is of the physical motion rather than of a particular moment, I photographed myself re-performing these actions and then transformed these gestures into screenprints. In other prints, such as Bath, space itself is pieced together out of memory and a few photographs. Some colors and textures are heightened, some sections are elided to fit the room within the space of the panel. I translate these photographs into screenprints and transfer them onto panels with upwards of thirty layers of ink. Because of the hardness of the ink I am able to selectively sand the print, revealing the layers below. In this way I am able to work using both additive and subtractive methods, which is unusual for the medium. The layering and sanding away of these images collapses the passage of time and mimics the simultaneous clarity and intangibility of memories. There is slippage between the layers and within the memory itself. Memories become visual objects in the present moment transformed by in the very process of creation. 

 While the initial body of work involves unique layered and sanded screenprints on panels, I am interested in developing a way to create similar editioned work at a much larger scale and making use of the 72-inch press bed and our Epson 9900 printer at the college where I teach. I have realized one of the components I am most interested in with this body of work is the interplay between the painterly marks created by the sanding and the photographic halftone, suggesting a point of departure for new prints that contain these two qualities but expand in terms of the type of media being used.

ON WHAT SHE WILL BE DOING AT PRINTCAMP:

While at Print Camp my goal would be to explore how I could combine a second form of printmaking (etching or lithography) perhaps through chine colle, as a way to expand this language of painterly mark making in conjunction with the half tone of the screenprint in an editioned form. I am particularly drawn to the experimental and collaborative nature of print camp and the opportunity to share ideas with other printmakers as a way to push the boundaries of my work in terms of both scale and the combination of print media. I would plan to work on permutations of one print - coming in with a set of digital imagery and transparencies which I would use in conjunction with experimentation in one or more other print media. The goal of the workshop would be to return to my studio with new strategies for layering and combining print media which I would then apply to new editioned work. I am particularly interested in the way I can use the tension between the painterly and digital mark as well as between different layers of print media to echo the gaps and inaccuracies of memory.

SKILLSHARE: For my skill share I would demonstrate the process of sanded screenprint which I have been using in my work to create layered, painting like prints. This technique was originally developed by Dennis O'Neil. I have modified the technique to work on panels, which I layer and sand selectively.

chapter 9 week 11

This week’s blog as we all know in our art class is reviewing what we read in chapter nine which was promptly over architecture and famous buildings and so on. As we mostly probably already know that the Romans are very gifted in building from concrete and making anything they set their minds to. It is very astonishing to me the work they do and the work that they create. The mind sets behind what ever the Romans are possible thinking have to be super strong and not to mention strong willed at that. They invent all different kinds of stuff that we now have read about and seen. To be honest I had no idea that the arches ,domes, and vaults, were part of the Ancient Romans pieces of art work, that part of this reading has really blown my mind and made me not only realize but highly appreciate what the Romans have gone through as far as the time it took to not only think about making these arches, domes , and vaults but putting in the effort into building these domes, arches, and vaults, essentially in a way we should all be thankful for the Romans for their brilliant ideas and fascinations over building things from concrete and being super good at it.

Domestic architecture which are the single and or multiple dwellings built back in the past in Ancient Rome. As the Romans had discovered their potential with the concrete and also with their potential in building architectures they then invented arches and domes and also not to forget the vaults these are illustrated in some of the pages throughout the book on page 127 to be exact so you should stop right here on what you are reading and go check that out right now then come back and continue to read you will not be disappointed in what you see, then when you come back comment on what you think about relating to the arches, domes, and vaults,  I want to know. A lot of us readers have heard at one point in time a little something about the incredible Julius Caesar, to be exact Julius Caesar was one of the greatest politician figures in his generation and if you would like to know a little more history behind Julius Caesar then you should go check out page 129 in the art book.

 As the public grew amongst the Roman population as did the need for space and not only private space but as well as public space. So with that increase need for public space the Romans came up with two new building promptly known as the forum and the basilica.(page 129). These buildings that were made really reminds me of a Walmart or a target here in the United States it reminds me that people where in need of the same thing so we built a bigger building to help everyone who needs the same thing they get to go to the same building. The chapels here in the United States where you would go for religious reasons is the same thing as the Temples in Rome. These are amzing and fascinating to me to be able to read about similarities amongst two different societies and as well as countries at that. A lot of things have been accomplished by the Romans and have made an everlasting impact on the world as a whole.

This was a very fun read and I hope you all enjoyed it. Please feel free to comment any new thoughts or questions regarding my post, thank you and have a very blessed day!   

stop being jealous and bitter!

Now i know you cant outright just throw away your jealousy in the art community. You see a really cool popular artist or just someone with absolutely amzing art and you think “wow holy shit their art is so good i wish that was me and that i could do that....” I understand that spite can be a good thing sometimes; it can be what motivates you to improve and do well, especially if the artist is well... not the best person in terms of personality. Great, that’s even more motivation to do well right!? 

But when does all the comparing go too far?

----------------------------------------long post incoming------------------------------------------

Now i’ve had people very close to me do this. I’ve been told that im ‘popular’ which im honestly not seriously. They could probably be reading this right now, but this has been bothering me for awhile so i must get this out there. Let’s step into a certain mindset for a moment:-

You hate your artwork. You hate your current skills. Sure there are artists you like. But then there are ‘THOSE’ ones. You have very specific artists you follow just because theyre so good and popular they make you feel bitter and you still check up on them regularly to fuel that bitterness. You know good and well that they make you bitter and angry and peeved but you just keep going back.

Step back for a moment and think.... why on earth am i fucking doing this???? Comparing and feeling bitter about another persons skill or popularity and letting yourself stay sad and bitter isn’t good for ANYTHING, art aside. It’s good to want to feel validated at the work you spent time on but it WILL get tiring if you keep complaining that ‘your art is bad’, ‘your art isnt good’, ‘its shit’ or ‘garbage’. Your brain is just internalizing that and hindering your work and future improvement. It’s most importantly WASTING YOUR own time, YOU the creator. And not to sound snobby here, i really truly dont intend for that, but some of you know good and well that you keep belitting you work because you only just want people to compliment your art when youre only doing the bare minimum to improve! I can only tell you as a friend or an on-looker that i love your art so many times (as much i really do love it and hope for your improvement) if you continuously decide to still turn around and say you hate your work and tell me im wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why reach for compliments then! Why continuously turn them down?

And i’m not saying you cant ever not like your art (cause it happens) or decline a compliment, but to do it every single time....it leaves a bad image for your work. You either start to believe it, or the person complimenting you will get put off from your negativity!  

It makes people feel bad, especially if theyre also artist AND also your friends. You can’t keep saying you prefer their work and still put down your own. It makes your artist friend uncomfortable. They might not know how to respond when you keep doing it. And im sure they wouldnt want you to keep making yourself feel bad. Personally, i wish all my art friends success and improvement, and i want them to love and feel proud of their work more than the times they hate it. We really need to uplift each other as artists.

Thanks.

What you think and say is what you become and if youre always negative and comparing youre gonna tear down both the person you admire and yourself. Ie, if youre constantly thinking ‘ill never be as good as this person’,’no ones ever gonna like my work’, ‘i cant color as well as they do’ or saying that your work is only ever garbage... newsflash asshole! your mind absorbs that negativity and makes you believe it! u fool!!!!! Because brains are stupid and can be your worst enemy at times! 

Sometimes you just need to stOP looking at certain peoples work completely if it gets you that bitter or angry or sad. Unfollow them! Block them! Delete their name from your search history if you have to! Stop hurting yourself and forget about them, it’s like trying to think about an ex thats moved on. Pointless.

Negative emotions such as sadness and anger are our brains direct ways at trying to reach out to ourselves.

You: seeing cool art Your mind: remembering you dont have some of those skills or popularity + comparing = sadness/ anger/ bitterness at not being able to be at that lvl withtin the same timeframe or less

Your brain is trying to tell you to fix this! But you know you might not have the tools to gain that much popularity or become so good at anatomy, coloring , compositions or backgrounds overnight, so the only solution for your brain is to self-sabotage.

It’s just the same as suddenly feeling sad for no reason. It’s your mind trying to work out a problem you never resolved. Maybe your friends haven’t replied in awhile and you feel ignored. Or you subconsciously remembered a bad experience without really realizing. You’ll get sad. Your mind is is saying ‘Hey asshole im sad. I know it might be out of your control but I’ll stay sad about this one thing until you resolve it somehow. ’ (whether it be blindly distracting yourself on purpose or fully wallowing in the feelings)

So we realized youre feeling intensely about this persons work vs your own...then what exactly happened there? The answer is pretty simple. Some kind of information processing happened in your brain. The result of this processing made the your mind conclude that one of your existing problems (art in this case) can never be solved; whether conscious or unconscious, and this explains why your mood might change all of a sudden without any kind of warning signs (in relation to what you saw). 

Inspired VS Jealousy When youre inspired youre working against yourself in a GOOD way. You’re feeling motivated to make something great! Youre feeling motivated to make something better than the last piece!! And honestly thats wonderful!!!  That is a lot nicer than being in art-block, comparison negativity hell.

YOU are the only one responsible for where you are as an artist. That goes towards every artist of every skill level! There’s always someone better than you and there’s always someone worse than you. People get better at art in different intervals depending on how much they take in or put into practicing. Some people just get some concepts and fundamentals a lot easier and quicker than others but that doesn’t mean they naturally had that ability from birth. They put in the work just as you should be doing instead of feeling so intensely negative! But when you’re jealous and negative all the time, that’s when it starts to go downhill. :/

Jealously is a very human emotion at its core. And im not saying its super easy to deal with and just suddenly get over, but there are things you can do to slowly help yourself do it at least a little less.

Here’s the best things you CAN do instead:- - Write down some of the things you find yourself feeling bitter over about, especially when you look at another artists work? Ask yourself why these specific things? If it’s something you yourself can work on in your own pieces then maybe uh do that?  - Find the time to practice your work. - Practice even more. - If it’s your style that you arent happy with think of the artstyles you like and set aside time to mimic the way that artist might draw something (hence adding that to YOUR style). Take a sketchbook page or two and just draw entirely in those styles. - Practice. I can’t stress this enough. I know artists say this a lot and it can kind of just be thrown around carelessly, but if you keep putting this off and saying you don’t want to practice or talking about how time is going by when you should be practicing things.... and STILL refuse to practice then???? I cant help you sorry. Time waits for no one, so sometimes you need to grab time by the horns and kick its ass for awhile. Put in that effort! - Please use references. Even better if you use it nearly EVERYTIME you draw something, especially yknow...if its a pose, body part or background that you know you have no idea how to properly express! Find a stock image or a variety of websites to use! Save poses that you like from online magazines, other artists and photographs you see anywhere online. I like to look at online magazines from other countries or photographers, and there are tons of places like pinterest or instagram and whatnot. - Stop comparing and being bitter. Ii cant say this enough it gets me so ticked off, but my stubborn taurus self refuses to fully go off until it all piles up and this post is the result lol. If you know you can’t let go hating on a certain artist (for no good reason) then dont hate-follow them! Don’t check up on their work constantly! Don’t even talk about them!!!!!!! Try to get them out of your head for goodness sakes. Majority of the time they dont even know who YOU are so why are you worried about what they’re up to. - STOP SHITTING ON YOUR OWN WORK. - STOP IT RIGHT NOW. - AS THE ARTIST SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FORCE YOURSELF TO SAY ‘’hey, my work isn’t exactly where i want it to be at this point in time and it may never be but i can appreciate that i’ve gotten better at a lot of things and im better than where i was a few years/ a year/ a month ago/ even weeks ago.” - ”I’m proud of this piece and can’t wait to get even better.” - Art is a struggle that takes time, effort and a lot of work. There’s always going to be someone better than you and there’s always going to be someone worse than you. You can only strive to get to the level that would make you happiest, otherwise you will get irritated with it and feel absolutely miserable about everything you produce. - PUT IN THE WORK TO GET YOUR ART OUT THERE. Social media has been both a curse and a blessing to artists all around. It’s made it easier for us to share our work around and opened paths for making money online and at home and connecting with other artists, but competition grows everyday as more people post their work in the same market. (ie another reason why it can be hard to get your commissions out there) Also as artists we want that dopamine rush you get from people liking your stuff, i get that its gucci. -But if you aren’t tagging your works well, posting somewhat consistently, not really bothering to talk to people in certain art communities (even people in your fandom because hey potential friends and even partners on future projects), not adding your works to groups (a big problem i see with people on places like deviantart mostly), joining and sharing them in art group chats/aminos/discords, joining events to get yourself out there (such as zines/big bangs/gift exchanges etc), giving tips and advice or even little helpful tutorials to people then how do you expect to be noticed? How.  If youre not doing at least TWO of these things then hoW can you complain about not getting attention. :(

 Of course you dont have to do ALL of this. Im just saying ...if you arent out there advertising how will more people know about you? This leads to you thinking no one likes your art (skill level excluded because even my cringiest old art would have a few comments or encouragements to see my future improvement, and i still want to hide when people like/comment/reblog said old art to this very day). 

I understand mainly OC artists feel this way that no ones gonna like their characters, or it just doesnt get reblogged enough in general but thats understandable too. No one is ‘selling out’ if they only do fanart. No one is ‘snobby or scared to get themselves out there’ if theyre really enthusiastic about their stories and worlds. Otherwise we wouldnt have fandoms int he first place, theyre all someones work. And hell, good for you if you draw both. It really is just a matter of how you put yourself out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’ll take some time but there IS always someone out there that likes your stuff. And sometimes you just have to be content with making work for yourself, work that makes you happy. The online art world is tough especially when youre small but once you fall into the depths of bitterness its hard to rewire your mind...

This is how yall should be looking at your/others work majority of the time: You: seeing cool art  Your mind: omg thats beautiful! i wish i could draw and paint like that. i should practice more , try out some poses and anatomy or implement what they do into my work. i wanna make a cool ass piece like this too i feel so pumped to draw and work!! 

And that’s that! Do yourself a favor and be happier you bastards! Its tiring being negative and sad all the time and i want tf out of it. Its so very tiring and annoying to be sad and bitter as shit!!!!! My goD

I can’t really think of anything else to add to this and the text may appear angry sometimes as i was very heated when i wrote this but tried to tone it down a lot hfkds. Im not some ‘art guru goddess with supreme skill uwuw’ but advice is advice! It’s always up to the person listening to take it or not.

I’m gonna end this with one of my favorite art quotes of all time from t h e Arin Hanson himself. Because it really is true. 

Get yourself out there, practice towards a level that makes you content and try to have more fun with loving your work.

It’s taken me a long while to post this, as i’ve been feeling this way for...at least a couple months??? but i finally put it all out there i just needed to do this lol.  Sorry if i mightve repeated info sometimes here and there?

This post is just as much of a call out to my own actions but more so @ those of you that specifically do this! 

You might take pleasure

My personal thoughts:

Is your enjoyed one presently having a hard time to attain her dream? Well, man-up! Liven up like a lady and also assist your favored to come to be location of the idolizer team. Atleast that is what our character Urayama Minoru did. And it is it working out? well. For one to uncover that is, by scanning this review or you will obtain a glimpse of touch. Story: 7/10 The story of reincarnation no kaben complies with Yoshinaga and her greatest desire is to be a participant of AKB group( a Japanese idol woman band). And also Minoru is her secret enthusiast. Kinda wonderful, appropriate? After which there have actually been anything or tryouts along these lines. As well as given that Yoshinaga is not actually protected, Minoru went to help out her. But oh-my-couldn' t-anticipate-it-at all they both obtain authorized. Amazingly, Minoru herself does effectively. And also maybe he's a far better idol contrasted to private he tries to sustain. However, there are normally these" yet" areas of the background ... He can not keep for life like a female. Right. And also this is the reason that me intrigues. I absolutely desire to observe exactly how of covering your individual sex, this turmoil exercises ultimately of the tale. Along with for that I'm ready to analyze it prior to exposing occurs, even when some arcs expected and also obtain way too much time often.

ART WORK: 9/10 mangabat is absolutely great. I like the facts that characters appear pretty amzing and the information are great. I really do not have anything to complain about reincarnation no kaben's artwork.

Characters: 8/10 - Characters are all fine. Minori is very solid willed and that I extremely like" her" as well as I thought that she is the best personality of the entire tale. After reviewing reincarnation no kaben manga, i can tell you it has some other sensational side characters and also several women that I can only picture of them squeeze right into the piece constantly. They've not pleased me a lot. However there can be numbers that a variety of you might take pleasure in.

COMPLETE SATISFACTION: 9/10 Until now this AKB49 manga has been very fascinating. I just simply want to observe how Minoru will certainly wind up besides the chaos. As a result allows simply wait and also see what's coming when the latest phase is launched. Total: I would certainly rank it 8. It's downs and its ups but overall really positive sex bender manga. You are able to identify what goes on also although you do not know-all that idol program. Pointer: there mightn't be considered a have to do that, although need to you occur to get bored merely miss several phases. For the here and now time, it hasnot been a let down as well as provide a shot to this manga, if you're interested in read manga online.
