One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.
yeah, you definitely want to make a lighthearted remark
Here's the website for the app I'm getting so much good use out of: https://opencamera.org.uk/
And here's a big dump of photos from it!
and here's an example of exactly how much this means to me -- I've been really feeling like I'm terrible at photographing my own work, especially watercolour, and i can't seem to really capture what makes a painting special in person.
here's some examples of my attempts to photograph this sketchbook painting using the native camera app on my phone:
it's grainy, blotchy, the colours feel off, the contrast is too much... it really doesn't capture what's on paper in front of me!
so then i try with the processing turned off in Open Camera:
it's fucking night and day!
A clearer comparison for you:
jesus fucking christ what a game changer!

I don't want to ask AI a question. I don't want AI to write my sentences for me, at all ever. I don't want AI search bars to be the default and I don't want them to be in such a way that I can't opt out. I don't want this kind of AI in my life and there is no such thing as AI art, there is only theft of art from human artists by AI scrappers. I don't want any of this, I hate it. Maybe in a world that isn't driven by tech bro capitalism we can see machines doing all the dangerous inane things so humans can be free to pursue life and creativity. But that's not what's happening right now and I hate it.
Ran'ja
The Brigade Spa has become quite an attraction to those who visit the Westbrook compound. With the quantity of visitors came the need to expand the staff that takes care of the facilities.
Ran'ja is among those who make sure the visitors leave happy and the place stays clean and relatively peaceful. Working in tandem with Petra, they've managed to keep the place operational and without any major incidents for at least a couple of weeks now! ;)
The sun is affecting me.. yes, even me, so I have decided to start on summer pieces. This one was quite special, as I've decided to limit my brushes to a rough painter and attempted to give Ran'ja's skin wet looks! It was quite fun. I hope you like how it turned out.
storebought is fine if you want, but you are encouraged to make something yourself! share what you're bringing in the tags :3
rejection sensitivity is so fucking lame. like boo hoo look at me i felt mildly ignored for 30 seconds and already started planning my own funeral liKE BITCH CHILL it was never that serious
CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ABOUT BISEXUALITY
that purple in the middle is not the right saturation, it doesn't fit with the other two colors and it drives me crazy.
all right, I think I got this, I've got dual citizenship and I have another flag we can borrow from:
step 1
step 2
step 3
This is true bi/ace solidarity.
holy shit
This is the only correct way

Commission for @eluvisen of their tav, Rhodeia, and Karlach ! ✌🏻💕
✨️ Commission info | Art tag ✨️
commission for @elle-thereafter, an original character named Perran from her CR fanfic Gate Building: See also, Bargaining with Archfey, Complications of! El wanted to know what her character would look like if put on canvas, and helping people visualize their lovely brainchildren is one of my most favorite things, so i was very happy to work on this portrait. thank you for commissioning me! 💜
A while back I just happened to be scrolling through Tumblr when I saw @zmeess had opened their commissions 20 minutes prior. I had been thinking for a while I might get some art of Perran from my Gate Building universe commissioned and the prospect of getting that art done by the wonderful @zmeess sounded magical.
As a writer who is extremely, extremely far toward the aphantasia side of the visualisation spectrum, figuring out what things look like is a constant challenge. My descriptions are about vibes and hinting at aesthetic, tone, or emotion because I can’t picture anything, all I have is words. I don’t really know what anything I write about really looks like. My brain works entirely in words and abstract thought.
Seeing this character come to life has been an absolutely thrill and I couldn’t be more delighted to finally know what Perran looks like. I never meant to create Perran. He was a narrative convenience and meant to deliver exposition and disappear in a couple of chapters, but became something so much more complex and real, and I absolutely fell in love with him and his unexpected part of the story.
I’m so delighted I’ve been grinning all week. I can see him! His hair, his nose, his lips, his fucking lovely freckles! His bracelets! His endless tea! The muscles in his arms from smithing! The faraway look in his eyes.
If you ever wonder if commissioning art of your original characters will be worth it: yes, yes it absolutely is.
Thank you @zmeess, you were wonderful to work with! 💜🧡
hello lover~
