Paintings of my siblings
Me and my brother used to play a game called wrestle tag, which was similar to traditional tag, but every once in a while I would pick him up and slam him into the ground. He was three years younger than me and easy to slam. Now he’s 6’3” and has a bad back, so we just play stupid shit like rocket league. Never grow up people.
Along with all the really nice comments that tumblr tags provide, I also love reading people’s interpretations of my art that I wouldn’t have considered otherwise. In “New Jester is Totally Bombing” I drew the knight in the way back with a sort of incredulous smile cuz I imagined he’s the type of friend with zero second hand embarrassment who gets a kick out of people making a scene. I had him raise his arm a little bit as if he were nudging the other knight like “oh my god dude this rocks he’s totally flailing.” But a ton of people in the tags thought he was unironically digging the jester’s routine or even developing a crush on him which never occurred to me. Similarly with “The Shore” a lot of people assumed the horse in the water was some kind of sea monster luring the knight in, and I can totally understand that since I drew the horse’s mane in a stylized upright way that could look like a fin. In reality I just wanted to paint a knight and his horse jumping in the water after a long journey, with the horse naturally getting there first cuz horses are fast. These alternate views aren’t wrong at all cuz the art is out of my hands now and I really like hearing them.
I quit tumblr at 15 and came crawling back clueless and out of the loop, envious of everybody who had stayed the whole time. For that reason I will never leave twitter. After Elon asphyxiates himself on cybertruck carbon monoxide in the White House garage, someone relatively normal will buy it again and it will be a seamless transition for me
I just wanted to say I'm so proud of you and your art it's been so amazing to watch you develop your style and create some of the most creative stunning pieces I've ever seen, so happy that everyone gets to see ur talent+hardwork!!!! ❤️
