You better start getting comfortable with the idea of an extremely broad anti-fascist coalition that includes tons of people who you strongly disagree with, because buddy, you're in one
Like man, I know I've been here for a long time, through the ups and downs of Tumblr, but it's a big number!! And it's nice to celebrate!
This runs for the next two weeks, between the 16th of April to the 30th of April 2025, and the prizes are:
- One of my warm up style comics in which you get to choose the subject and
- one of my full figure commissions
I'll be choosing the winners on the 1st of May on a spin the wheel Gen, which I'll record! I'll message the winners too and make sure you know you won! (If I don't hear back from you in a week though, I'll re roll the wheel!)
So, the rules:
- Got to be following me here on tumblr!
- You get two submissions, liking This Post and reblogging it!
- For the figure piece, my commission rules apply (See my pinned post for more info!) and it can take up to two weeks for a final piece.
Okay, I think that's it!
Thanks again guys, for sticking with my art and supporting me! Lots of love and Good luck!
Creative writing is way closer to engineering than I think a lot of people expect. It takes creativity and imagination to decide what to write about. It takes a lot of honed dedication to craft to really make the word-to-word prose sparkle. But all the stuff in between? Knowing how long an idea should be, what medium it should be, how many characters, and how their motivations need to interact, all that shit is basically engineering.
All that plot and structure shit is the bones. I think it really trips some writers up. I think it's why writing a novel feels like torture for poets (poor fundamentals, all schmoovement), and why half-decent essayists can rapidly churn out slop (strong fundamentals, poor tech).
i just had to draw a clock for the speech pathologist. does not bode well that i feel like i’ve been too hard on will graham
i looked at my clock and said “huh. have you seen NBC Hannibal?” she said she’s seen the movie. i said “well the guy has to draw a clock. i think his is worse than mine but i’m suddenly worried i wouldn’t know.”
maybe the clock had nothing to do with the encephalitis….. Maybe nobody can draw clocks 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
i’m gonna try again rn at home my visual spatial reasoning cannot have gotten that bad stand by
WHY CAN I DRAW ME BUT NOT A FUCKING CLOOOCCCKKKK
Sea beasts of the known world and its freezing oceans.
1: Ornate beholders, multi-legged, multi-eyed abominations, these creatures get inside our crab pots everynow and then as part of a bycatch; they have crushing, muscular claws and sharp spikes all over their bodies. Their blood is blue, and they have a weird,metallic after taste. Preferably, frying the whole aberration in tallow can make such horrible beast taste so good.
2: Flying dragonets, small, smelly fish that use their fins as wings to glide across the vast seas they call home. They're prone to jumping onto vessels, and whilst they reek for no known reasons, they're cheap and tolerable enough as a meal.
3: Flashlight breachers, monsters from the depths... Nothing much is known about these monstrous fish, as they are rare, mostly found on trawls.
4: Common blumplets, aggressive fishes found in all sorts of places. They have a gelatinous bulb growing on their heads which is full of fat, we use them as fertilizer whilst their meat is used for fish pastes and other kinds of meals. Tasty, but could be better.
5: Oceanic blumplets, a more monstrous version of the Blumplet. These fish are seen in open ocean sometimes lopsided close to the water's surface, basking. They arent slow moving at all despite their clumsy looks, often giving a good chase... specially if you're a small fish.
6: Brute whale, terrifying and smart sea beasts that travel in pods hunting all sorts of things in the great blue. Their blubber and teeth can be used for things such as explosives and candles, their meat is inedible, tastes straight up like some kind of corrosive substance.
7: Rock crawmad, our most common source of food. A simple creature, that depends only on its shell and fierce claws. Other than that, a delicacy if prepared right.
8: Toothchurning tideriders, terrifying creatures that only think of eating and consuming. Once they deplete whatever they were eating, they move onto something else. Its better to let these sharks ferment overtime before consumption, since they taste like straight up urine.
9: Gazing anchovy, small, worthless fish. found almost everywhere theres ocean water in massive schools. Their prosperity also becomes their own hubris.
10: Humpback salmon, oceanic fish that return to spawn in the nearest rivers and lakebeds. Not as abundant as they were before...
11: Peeping fluke, spiky flatfishes that lie facing the sky, having a big eye and a smaller one right next to it... always looking up. One must wonder what's behind those eyes... constantly dreaming about the outer world outside.
12: Spine eel, long and slimy. Dragons detest these beasts, and so do we.
