“Strange,” he said. “You’re so strange. Are you dreaming? Somewhere, in there. Your battery is dead. But are you really gone?”

There we go! My little illustration for TJ Klune’s In The Lives of Puppets. Not actually a scene that takes place in the book mind you but inspired by a couple different ones here and there. Vic putting Hap back together using wood is such an interesting visual in my mind.

#in the lives of puppets #tj klune #fan art #my art #digital art #chracter design #book art #in the lives of puppets fanart #digital illustration #I feel like this is gonna be one of those pieces that I spent hours on to get not many notes but that’s fine #it was good practice #he’s also technically supposed to have a tarp but I was too lazy

hey does anyone who knows how cgi works wanna explain tristamp to me. bc i’m intrigued and fascinated and i could just use google but that’s boring.

namely, i may be a little slow, but i didn’t even realize it was cgi until i was thinking about how there’s more…motion? than i’m used to in animation. like it didnt key in my brain that it was 3d. i figured they must be using some crazy framerate and be extremely dedicated. so i looked it up.

which is when i found out that it is a) 100% cgi and b) on a limited framerate?? i think i saw 12fps?? also some people called it choppy which it does not seem like to me but perhaps i just don’t have an eye for it. i’m not an artist.

but i don’t understand? i mean. i understand 2d animation pretty well. i know a lot of stylistic things in animation are done to avoid Too Much Drawing, but i don’t. know how cgi works, conceptually. meryl’s bangs move very slightly in the wind all the time, and ik that wasn’t done by hand.

i mean. it’s computer-generated, right. so are we at the point where the computers just know physics? programming hurts my brain. help.

it’s probably way simpler than i’m making it out to be. i just think it’s cool, especially how close to 2d it looks

#bird noises #trigun stampede #animation #i dont know what to tag #i always do this #i get attached to a thing and then i make it way more complicated in my brain than it actually is #i did it with interior book design which is not relevant but it is cool as FUCK to me #and way less artistic/more technical than i thought :((#i was sad about that one #anyway if anyone out there knows how this works or has a link to a good explanation!#also IF I USED WORDS WRONG OR EXPLAINED SOMETHING WEIRD be nice pls bc i will cry about it

a bit different from my usual posts but I'm just so happy with how this project for one of my art classes turned out, so I'm posting it here! we had to pick a children's book from a list and design a new cover for it, and I ended up going with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (partly as an excuse to render gold because that's one of my favorite things to do)

#digital art #worshippdsun art #artists on tumblr #worshippdsun #fan art #is this technically fan art?#I think it counts #charlie and the chocolate factory #willy wonka and the chocolate factory #idk if i'm gonna finish it but i did start an actual design for my “version” of wonka for this whole concept #book cover #book design #roald dahl #willy wonka #i'm just getting my tags in for exposure at this point uwu #image described #id in alt text

I started making a fake book cover for @firstelevens latest amazing fic sugar pie, honey bunch and then I got kind of obsessed with making book covers in Canva, so I decided to make covers for a few more of my favorite sambucky fics of hers to show my appreciation for her writing keeping me sane the last few months ♥️

by land, by sea, by dirigible [18K words, 6 chapters, complete] - Sam and Bucky team up with the dynamic duo from Marvel's Cloak & Dagger (RIP) and magic, literally, ensues. 🔮⚜️

sugar pie, honey bunch [AU, 55K words, 17 chapters, complete] - the plot of TFATWS except it's behind the scene of an all-star season of The Great British American Bake Off. Alliances are formed, conspiracy theories come to life on twitter, and whisks (and hearts!) are stolen. 🥐💖

a friend of any sort [AU, 3K words, 2 chapters, Part 1 in a series, complete] - Sam needs a fake date for Thanksgiving at his sister's and brings Bucky along to be the most unsuitable, obnoxious boyfriend ever, so his family will leave him alone about being single. Things do not go to plan. 🥧🦃

you can sing me anything [AU, 4K words, 1 chapter, Part 2 in a series, complete] - sequel to a friend of any sort, in which Bucky needs Sam to return the favor and pretend to be his boyfriend to get him out of an awkward situation (and into a better, but still kind of awkward situation). ☕😻

#not a graphic designer by ANY means #i'm paying for canva pro as part of my job hunt and i have decided to try to use it for joyous things too #and not just resume stuff which is soul sucking #anyway we like to have fun here at birdhapley incorporated and that includes making weird art for our friends #check out zainab's writing she's so talented and cool she deserves all the praise and flowers #and zainab congrats on completing the bakeoff AU it's a masterpiece and you are the GOAT #alsooooo if anyone has any snarky comments about canva book covers keep them to yourself 🥰 i'm a beginner and I'm having fun #their app is so annoying though that to download these I had to screenshot them #because when i downloaded the actual PNG files they were all fucked up #if anything looks wonky that's why #fic rec #fanart #(right?? technically??)#sambucky #tfatws #cloak and dagger #mutuals admiration society #firstelevens

Oh yeah don’t dox yourself!! I hope it didn’t sound intrusive, I was just curious :)

You went to university for creative writing then? That’s cool!! I thought of doing that out of highschool but I’m in a gap year right now. I don’t think I can trust myself to write anything creative that I’m actually proud of in a structured setting (ik that sounds yikes, gotta get out of my wimp era eww). So I just watch free video lectures 😭 But do you recommend it?

Well, I hope you leave a door, but if not, your writing has still left me (and loads of ppl I’m sure) with a lot to think about regardless :)

Aww thank you, you're very sweet. And you weren't being intrusive at all! It's actually really nice to know that there's anyone out there who wants to see more of what I can do!

I actually didn't major in creative writing, but I did do a series of fiction writing workshops at my first college and an additional workshop at my transfer university. My transfer university had a creative writing contest and a literary journal, which is where I was published. So it's not the most prestigious achievement, but it is something under my belt, I guess.

Fiction writing workshops really are a mixed bag.

The best part of a workshop is how it forces you to get used to critiques, which is really valuable if you base your self-worth around being a good artist. There is no better way to separate your self worth from your art than having to get used to people talking smack about it. Plus, critiquing other writers helps you to develop the ability to read like a writer and self-edit yourself.

But none of the workshops I did taught me how to write. For reference, I did workshops both at a liberal arts school (which was a mistake) and at a state university (the course was framed as an intro course, but was really just a fun elective). All of the workshops technically had a lecture series for the first half of the class centered on learning the craft, but I didn't learn anything new from them.

Another issue with workshops is that the value of the critiques depends on how good the rest of your class is. In an intro class that is a fun elective at a state school, the critiques are pretty worthless. The critiques for the workshops at the liberal arts school were helpful, but you are also going to be up against self-proclaimed artistes who have the strangest and most pretentious "Golden Rules of Writing" you will ever hear.

Honestly, the best way to improve your writing is to just write and be critical of your own work. If you write consistently and are open to admitting where you are weak, you will get better. It certainly took me a long, long time to start feeling like I was good at writing, and I've been writing most every day since I was 13.

If you decide to go college and want to be involved in a workshop, skip the classes and see if there is a writing club on campus. The club will probably have an informal workshop where you can share and get critiques from people who have a passion for writing just like you do. If the club is anything like the one I went to, it'll be filled with people from a variety of disciplines who will have more valuable insight than any Artiste Writer can give you. Plus, you can make a lot of great friends.

#I also took a gap year between schools and honestly i wish i took a gap year before starting college #but yeah in summary:#1) do not go to a liberal arts college #2) you do not need to study creative writing to be good at writing #3) join a club of other writers #4) write every day #one day i will tell you all my fiction writing workshop horror stories like there really are some freaks out there in the world #((for reference: when I make fun of pretenious writing people i am making fun of myself; i studied english with a concentration in #technical writing and communication; i am extremely stuck up about books. like my xmas list this year was critical editions of classic lit #cause i like getting the historical context; the point is that i am in part making fun of myself))#((however i will relentlessly mock everyone and anyone for going to a liberal arts school like that is worthy of ridicule))#me rambling #ask #weetbixbb #also to get on my soapbox but the liberal arts school i went to killed my self confidence as a writer for a really long time #and also killed my confidence in my personality tbh but we won't get into that #like it's stark how cutthroat that enviroment was and who was designated as the Good Artists and why they were Good Artists

top ten guys who would uhhhhhhhh never hurt a fly. yeah we’ll go with that.

Rant incoming hee hoo

Uhhh not too much on him but his name is Archibald. Archie for short. Sometimes referred to as “The Finchman.” He gets a cool badass nickname why? Because all good serial killers get one yeah?

Sorry I meant uh. He’s so nice to you just as long as he doesn’t seem you weak. He’s got a weird “Survival of the Fittest” complex going on. Deems people weak based on an assortment of things and tries to eradicate the world of the weak cause uh. Yeah he’s just. He’s like that for some reason. Huh.

Also he’s like. One of the very few people who’ve managed to outlast that of Cuckoo. Yeah he’s a Bliss character.

(Special thanks to @pazam for helping me out with his face— I was having a little trouble with it initially!)

#like I said. man’s Bliss related #he only has any relevance in act 2 and act 3 though #a very minuscule part to act 2 and then more in act 3 #he’s actually like. kinda decent if he doesn’t see you as “weak” which could mean anything in his book #but it’s hard to get around that he’s literally killed people before #ah. kiwi is actually creating her first irredeemable scum that isn’t a sympathetic villain ! wowie !#yeah daisy-mae is technically irredeemable but like.#her whole deal in my approach is to make her a character you feel bad for feeling bad for y’know #it’ll make sense one day #but yeah. Archie is kinda uh. he kinda sucks major ass y’know #The Beaks is also part of a band he used to be in. idk what happened there tbh #he got uh. malicious ig #fun fact his design takes after the very very first concept of Rupert before he became the character we know and love #I will color him one day. it will happen.#Archibald #The Finchman #Bliss #ocs #original characters #original stories #WIPs #The Kiwi Draws
