WELCOME TO HORRIBLE HISTORIES!

~My Failed One Night Stand: A Tardis Story~

Once upon a Twitch stream, fans requested an embarrassing story of mine. What followed was a fourteen minute tale of shame and disappointment. This is OBVIOUSLY not Yuri on Ice related, but if you’re a fan of me, funny stories, or Doctor Who, you might get a laugh out of this. 

It all started with an internet hookup, and ended with a milkshake, but the terror of what happened between point A and point B will leave you SHOOK. Bring a raincoat, umbrella, and don’t take any drinks during this story, because you’re liable to spit it out on multiple occasions.

Enjoy!

This was referenced on tonight’s stream and I just checked to see this has 1k notes.

Goddamn. Anywho, here’s a blast from the past for the uninitiated.

This is to good to get buried in the tags

being a horror fan that experiences panic inducing paranoia fucking sucks like ill just be like wow i cant wait to go watch scary shadow creature video number 74 and then spend the rest of the night clutching my phone with the flashlight on and playing five nights at freddys 4 in real life

like im aware that watching horror stuff at like 3am is going to make me think that slenderman is in my kitchen but also im a dumb bitch who sees scary video thinks yay i love scary video :) and immediately watches it

Fascinated by what the draws you people to horror content

i like when theres some kind of creature or perhaps a guy

NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE (2023)

Hijack movie au: In which Jack was there all along. Trust me it happened. If we believe it hard enough then it’s canon, that’s how it is, we don’t make the rules. The man in the moon does, and he says gay rights. He might have asshole behaviors but being homophobic is not one of them

You don’t suck at Lineart, you’re just not familiar with line weight👍🏼!

i hate it when i refer to a woman as a cowboy and then someone corrects me "erm actually shes a cowgirl!!" no she's not. cowboy is all genders you cannot separate the power of yeehaw

Only the subtlest metaphors on this Tumblr.

This works as a metaphor for children but also it works perfectly well when played totally straight because horse people are actually like this

it literally took me three solid readings through this to realize that it wasn’t necessarily about horse people, because they are exactly like this

Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.

This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...

Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!

Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!

ALSO!!

YELLOWING!! Digital art is very blue-light based. Cold, clean, flat. But traditional art has warmth to it. Why?

Over time, paper gets yellowed with dust, oil, dirt, and nicotine from cigarettes! So colors got warmer. This makes art look pretty aged, on top of the slight toned papers and hand made/factory made inks they printed with.
