Older Siblings In Media Are So Often Misunderstood. Either Adored Or Hated, But Never An In-between.

Older siblings in media are so often misunderstood. Either adored or hated, but never an in-between. The pressure is always there, never enough or too much.

It’s the Steven Crain’s who are hated, the Fiona Gallagher’s who are forced onto a pedestal, the Dick Grayson’s who are reduced to nothing but their mistakes and issues, the John Dory’s who is only ever the oppressor and never the oppressed, the Isabela Madrigal’s who are considered vain and self centered.

It’s the eldest child who has no one on their team because they are the leader, and that is either meant to be taken from them or only ever for them.

It’s the Kate Sharma’s and the Anthony Bridgerton’s. It’s the Bill Weasley’s and it’s the Dean Winchester’s. It’s the Eric Matthew’s and it’s the Elsa’s.

The eldest sibling whose mistakes are over analyzed or completely ignored, who are never seen as humans because they are something to claim or destroy. The first born who is never understood in media or by fans, maybe it’s because acknowledging the fact that they’re human means they aren’t perfect is too much. Or maybe it’s because acknowledge that they are human and therefore cannot be defined by their mistakes and the weight they carry is too much.

They are not allowed to be perfect and yet if they are anything but perfect the world would riot.

Possibly an odd question - and this isn't going to be something I plan on asking often, but since my laptop situation is getting to a bad state and I work on this thang for a lot of things including my art. it would be trouble if i cannot replace it before it completely dies

But. Would anybody be interested in like... "sponsoring" me to make more comics that explore more of the canon warrior cat characters? Much like the ferncloud and shrewpaw one (maybe a little cleaner than it, if I were to be sponsored) which I think did really well.

I'd charge less than I would for how i theoretically would if i was doing a OC comic commission. Right now, I have loosely scripted one where Fernpaw visits on Brightheart after she survives the dog attack. I'd saaaay 60 USD to just let me go ham and get it done.

It's a strange thing to ask but I was discussing with a friend on how exactly to raise money, adopts and commissions aren't doing it for me right now, and they had talked about a specific cheaper commission where they're basically sponsored to draw fanart of characters. So I thought I'd put out some similar feelers over this. I really have been enjoying doing this art and I know a lot of people have liked what I've been doing so. It'd basically be a little bit of help so that you get more of that sort of content from me

hey, the brush was taken down but you can download it directly here https://static.burningdownthehou.se/scraps/Homestuck_Horn.sut

Thank you so much!

Alright so everyone knows white is the classic wedding color, with black suits being common too, but what if you want something more exciting for more than two people?

Ta-da!

Honestly I was just thinking about RGB for me and my gfs and then I started getting ideas for how to apply this farther

A mouth-watering fuck-ton of hand angle references.
