@catgoat happy birthday! 🎁 🎊
@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online this is a really good way to put it.
I tend to come off as "cool" and "collected" in my prime environment, doing what I do best, but in new environments, doing new things, I end up freezing all the time (trying to process new info) and it annoys ppl into thinking I'm "lazy" and _(:c 」∠ )_

caught up with the latest Grease Bats comic on autostraddle and this single panel pretty much perfectly describes the constant conflict of having virgo sun/pisces moon lol orz

explaining an art school joke
"big for watercolor" is a reference to the fact that most illustrators have a different idea of what a physically "big" art piece is than fine artists do, usually because of what medium(s) they work in
illustration majors: wow I JUST finished an 18x24 (inches) mixed media acrylic painting! it took a whole MONTH!
fine artist majors: (chuckling) I couldn't even FIT my last painting into my friends (pickup) TRUCK, I had a rent a Uhaul
abstract artist struggles 2019
..., I think it was supposed to be a study on painting fire? I remember having a classmate that was working on this HUGE (for watercolor) piece of a wildfire and I was pretty inspired by it... 
last retoot | selfcare
I was talking to an offline friend about how my Father used to say,
"Repetition is the key to learning!"
instead of,
"Practice makes perfect"
because I'd argue every time (as a kid btw) that
"perfection wasn't a real thing we could actually achieve?"
so friend chimes in and says his parents only said something like,
"perfect practice makes perfect skills"
Implying there's a wrong way to learn things and I'm pretty sure that's how you make a grade-A anxiety mess
@chr for art commissions, what's expected text-wise is usually basic info like the characters name, height, and gender
visually what is expected is a simpler version of what's called a "turnaround sheet" in the animation biz. It's a front, back, and side view of the character so the artist understands how the character should look in different angles
P.S. if the character has Very Specific Colors that NEED to be used, please include a color palette somewhere, it can be scribbles or splotches
anime | lucky star
I finally watched all 24 episodes of lucky star in one sitting last week because my wi-fi was down and...
...I def ship Kagami and Konata now, like fucking 10 years AFTER I was SUPER obsessed with this show. It's not a hardcore ship, but I think the scenes with just the two of them talking are much cuter now
I find myself relating more with Kagami as I get older, especially her end of the episode rants??? 🤣 she also does her own thing while actively being a part of the group
manga | MHA
(looking at her manga pics) oh NO SHE'S TOO COOL!!!! 💦
I don't even care that she apparently has pink skin(?), the way her dragon form looks like the Blue-eyes-white dragon from YGO is the COOLEST thing to happen in MHA
she and her form are known as "dragoon" and like 😍 💓 SHE'S SO COOL!!!!
anime/manga | MHA | kinda personal
me, deep in the wikis looking up weird trivia and trying to avoid late manga spoilers: I wonder who shares my birthday
okay, so no one does EXACTLY, but my birthday is right in between Power Loader and...a Ryuko Tatsuma?
I def can see myself as the slouched over tech nerd, but who is this Ryuko?
(click click)
OH SNAP!!! SHE'S LITERALLY THE COOLEST CHARACTER TO ALMOST SHARE MY BIRTHDAY!!!
DRAGON-HERO!!!!
DRagon...girl...! my birthday!!
