I WATCHED IT IT'S SO RIGHT

I WATCHED IT IT'S SO RIGHT

I read the book w/ Bumble in it (I legitimately don't remember its name sob) about 4 years ago, and the way everyone treated her made me stop reading DotC because it made me so angry. I still haven't gone back to finish it and I don't know if I will tbh

The part that pissed me off the most was how Gray Wing was such a little bitch the whole time. At least at the time -- so in 2020 -- people were still mostly very fond of him. I got into several arguments about it and people didn't take me seriously, although that may have been because the people I talked with were around my age and may not have had a fully developed understanding of the issues Bumble's whole thing exemplifies. I also didn't have adequate vocab to express what was wrong with what i had read, which didn't help.

Also, the point Moonkitti makes about Bumble and weight is really interesting. It's so annoying how generally fatphobic kids' media is (thinking about Harry Potter rn).

Very good video overall

Art trade with @hannyatiger !

This one took me 6 hours and 22 minutes, the second longest time of all the art trades I've done this year. I don't really know why it took that long. I guess I was just really slow at it.

It was an interesting challenge because I rarely work with really brightly coloured characters, so I had a bit of an experience trying to find a way to make it look a little less intense on the eyes.

ARTIST ASK GAME with 4, 14 annnd/or 29???

Whoopee!

4. Piece you wish got more love?

Hmm... I don't often let myself get sad about my art not doing as well as I hoped, but I do sort of wish the raffle prizes I posted earlier this year had gotten some more likes. Although the main reason they didn't was that I didn't have many followers (I still don't but my art gets more likes now so yeah).

14. What's your favourite thing about drawing?

This question is a tad vague, so I'm just answering on vibes if that makes sense. I think my favourite thing about drawing is really just the joy of creation. Like, it's fun to make stuff and to have it in my files and online and think "yo, I made that". Plus, I usually enjoy the process a lot (although I like certain parts more than others).

29. Do you use a lot of references while drawing?

It really depends on what I'm drawing! If I'm really familiar with it, I can bust it out with no reference. But if it's a new species, or a weird angle, or something else that I don't do much, I'll usually try to pull up some references, because otherwise, it doesn't really meet my standards.
