Look a Ninjago drawing :)

#lego ninjago #ninjago #pixal ninjago #ninjago pixal #lego ninjago pixal #pixal #pixal borg #ninjago art #ninjago fanart #my art #I have a feeling you don't actually believe you are good at what you're doing #that's what my therapist said to me last week #and that made me think #when did I started resenting what always made me happy? Because all I feel is that no matter how much I try I'm never happy #I'm in a place where I'll start to get nightmares every time I post something #Don't get me wrong I am so grateful for all the support you guys gave me and I feel really happy with the friends I got here #but things are not balanced #I have been doing art for such a short time and I can see how much I have improved #but if I am not happy with my own art I see no reason to keep doing it #I've only been drawing and getting better because you gave me so much support but the support is not working now #because no matter what I'll never be satisfied with myself #I know I will hate this drawing the moment I post it but everyone following me is a follower because of ninjago and I can't ignore that #So for y'all a drawing

figured i'd do this again..bit early i guess..

#to cheer me up.. i feel bad atm.. these things don't even make me feel very good tho bc i'm such a narrative/sketch-based artist..#but Proper Beautiful Finished Pieces are what grab attention and look good at the end of the year all neatly lined up lol.....#so looking at a “yearly review” where i can only choose 'the best image of the month' (??) is like...What have i even been doing...#i did a month by month look back on twt for myself instead..but even that doesn't express the quantity of comic-based stuff..#that i do put a lot of time/heart into..but alas i feel bad bringing even them back..RTing/reblogging my own art simply feels bad lol..#AND WHY IS IT ALL B&W...trying to accept that i LIKE doing that and sketching and scribbling..not like i'm trying to like..Get Artist Job..#this year was so profoundly lonely at times bc i spent all my time drawing instead of socialising and trying to find friends....#please please please have achieved more of your dreams in the future so you can look back at 2023 and think..#It was good that happened so that it got me further to the future. Or whatever i guess.....................#regardless i did have a great amount of fun drawing and improving this year and dwelling deeply & heavily on witch hat atelier.#art-wise and emotionally....march july & september were the best months i think..AUGUST WAS SO WEIRD SUMMER IS SO EVIL ALWAYS.#thank you very much if you are reading this for enjoying & leaving nice tags & such like <3 i've realised how fulfilling that is to receive #really keeps me posting stuff here instead of keeping it all to myself in my head #i wish everyone in this world could have a safe and happy end of year. i wish living in this world were easier

had a character development moment today where I realized maybe I simply do not have a healthy relationship to classical music anymore

#i always felt terrible about 'losing interest' but it never felt right to say that #partially as a music student but partially because i *love* classical music I always have and I still do #so perhaps it's not that i've lost interest #for lack of a better term i just can't be normal about it anymore #it just. exhausts me #like i wish i could just turn the analysis brain off even for a moment #and just enjoy it #but it's ironic because the analysis brain is a result of the fact that i love it so much #idk. i just want to be able to listen without it feeling like it has to be a source of self-improvement.#without it feeling like an educational endeavor every single time #i love learning about it but if you turn every single interaction you have with a thing into a learning interaction #it does kind of eat away at the fun you have with it if you're not careful #because at a certain point you stop thinking about what you enjoy about it and what you love about it #in favor of what you can glean from it #and like. if you just think about that out of context. that's not a healthy form of love #idk. ironically enough maybe i need to not immediately jump to the score videos #i think i need to just listen to things again #like I don't actually Need to know how they work immediately. that information is going to be there regardless #i can just. try to listen again #idk. very specific problem to have #the things you go through when you spend your life so intensely steeped in one art form #i would be more normal about it if i was less intimate with it in a way. it's a double edged sword #because at least i know it's this thing i carry with me so deeply and so permanently #this thing that has ingrained itself into my very being and the way i think #it's as dangerous as it is wonderful #i just wish i could wield it better #anyway.#composerposting #mine

I recently discovered I had watercolours... stashed away since 2014 (oops). They are so much fun! I didn’t expect it would be this fun using watercolours. I painted my OCs with them, alongside some animal studies.

#what if i do more...#i never thought of doing a fully finished piece traditionally BUT I think I might change that #When I improve #right now I'm just doing watercolour washes basically #THIS is exactly the right texture brushtrokes I always try to replicate with my digital art #i never knew it was easy to create in reality #I never attempted watercolour before lol #not like this at least #as far as i can remember #btw how do people make intricate plots and storylines and worldbuilding #this stuff is HARD!!!!!#I can't even decide if a character should want this or that #it's gonna take a while #I draw my ocs and stare at them #waiting for them tell me something. ANYTHING about themselves #smh #neanderthal boy is 99.9% going to be the outgoing type... but he's sensitive too (in secret)#why do i write so much dots like an elderly #it feels like natural speech pauses when i add them #also tumblr tags don't accept commas :(

LOVE your swords 💖

do you do other pixel art outside of swordtember?

Thank you so very much! You're wonderfully encouraging (and a big reason why I realized I should be posting them more frequently here).

Aside from Swordtember, I don't usually do much in the way of art. I definitely do make little things here and there, but my creative inspirations generally tend to be pretty far between. I'm not someone with ten thousand ideas constantly clamoring to be realized- just the occasional inspiration now and then. As my header says, I spend most of my time enjoying the content of others, while more infrequently making my own. Swordtember just happens to fall into a particular niche (cool weapon design) that has always made my creative wheels spin, so it's a prompt that I really enjoy doing year after year.

But, as thanks for asking, here's a little tome animation I whipped up a while back!

#i talk a lot tag #asks #skysometric #part of me thinks that i should find more excuses to do more art #i'm still very much a beginner and there's so much more i could learn and improve my craft and gain skill to tackle bigger projects #but i don't exactly want to pressure myself into it either?#and i mean if the inspiration isn't there then surely the product will be lackluster anyway #unless it's a situation where i need to actually get up and seek out ideas to realize and waiting for them to come to me won't get anywhere #so you see the back and forth that goes on about it #my art

| K A R M E N |

[ Category: The Promised Land ]

| So while her mother is busy trying to fit into the world of the Promised Land, because I can never find a way to make my OCs work out the way I intend for them; Here's Karmen in her new purpose!.... And also actually has a place that fits well; Of course she is Caligo and Asim's daughter, and is in fact a mix of the two's origins. While having some of her father's Fae attributes, while having mostly of her mother's Witch blood... Although whether or not she's more powerful than her traumatised mama.. That's a question for another time!

.. Anyways, cuz I have now made it a tradition, I draw Karmen in her refs always at her 17 years old glory, cuz kids and babies are hard to draw- Also cuz that's when her badassery begins lol..

Name: Karmen

Height: 5ft "2"

Species: Nocturnal Elf / However by the family tribe she is officially considered "Fae" despite physical evidence of her born as mixed race

Extra:

She grows up and becomes a mechanic at the age of 17, she started becoming invested in technology and such when she was 3; Overtime is became a passion, hence why she is capable of making small contraptions out of scraps. Her biggest project (which takes her to the age of 25, roughly an 8 year time span) when she randomly comes across a long abandoned assassin bot who appeared to have been built by the Deceitful before being discarded

She's very much a daddy's girl since Asim has spoiled her silly when she was young, although not blaming her mother for being the one who is on edge however; Karmen would always protect her mother, even when she was just a toddler. Her parents (Asim mostly) would tell her the sad stories and upbringing especially of Caligo, hence why she became protective of her mother figure at such a young age

She was given a spear by the tribe elder when she was 10, a special heirloom that was passed down from the "Sights of the Future" tribe; Although Asim decided to personally smith twin swords for her in hopes she'd pick up on his fighting style so to train her well, Karmen genuinely isn't a fan of dual wielding blades. Watching her be so natural with the spear however, inspires Caligo to try spear training themselves

Since the tribe mostly consists of travellers who had left their "nest" to search for other places of safety away from threats, Karmen always finds a way to "surf" down slopes whether rocky, snowy, sandy and whatnot; ... So she constructed herself a shield that can swiftly slide on almost any terrain. It's rumoured that she used her witch abilities she got from her mother to make it "magical", however Asim jokingly likes to claim it's the magic of the Fae

She can be an awkward and clumsy mess, she's prone to having tantrums like her mother, however since Caligo is technically still young in a sense, Karmen is more of a saint when it comes to them. Mother can act out BADLY, not their intentions however

Calls the tribe elder "grampi" since Asim practically refers to him as "grandfather", so she's kind of picked up on that too but more childish

She trains herself so she can eventually take over the tribe from her father one day, however since it's still Asim's turn next to replace the elder once they leave the world of living, she'll have to wait some more.. Which isn't much of a problem for her, she's a very patient person surprisingly

Hearing Caligo speak of their older sister sometimes, Karmen during moments where she's not being supervised has tried on a few occasions to look out for her (Katsumi), however hearing rumours of a "bounty hunter" appearing more frequently within recent activity, she's nervous.. Yet she has some theories on who that could be

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

I believe that's all I have for her new purpose for now, I need to really re-sort Caligo and Katsumi's re-purposing as well but for some reason I am really struggling on trying to fit them into this weird puzzle as is so they might not be shown off or be appearing anytime soon yet til I find something that could eventually work out

Also I've just noticed, since I tend to colour scheme a lot of my posts...

WHERE THE FUCK IS YELLOW?! THEY GOT RID OF THE COLOUR YELLOW!! WHY!?!? THAT WAS A NICE YELLOW TUMBLR WHY'D YOU GET RID OF IT!?!?!?!

That sucks balls!!.... But at least I can copy-paste the text even the colour font on other posts, it just sucks now cuz now I won't actually be able to use it for future characters refs!... And I still have yellow-mainly themed OCs that I've still yet to re-design... This sucks now it's even more limited than what it was.. Especially with this AI bullshit scandal they too decided to jump on the waste of time bandwagon for...

fuck the Internet it's just a scummy cesspool of bullshit, lies, hate and corrupted companies and rich shits ruining the lives of every day working class....

Fuck you!!

... Anyways- Yeah I have name for the tribe now, "Sights of the Future", although very much blind to what the future will bring... They look onwards and either embrace or adapt to whatever happens to them... And I will NOT be doing the same! I look onward to the future and all I see is black, humans are devolving, they have adapted only so far and now they are moving backwards like the cesspool of lies and deceit they are..
